A PRIVATE nursery has been graded “Outstanding” by independent watchdog Ofsted.

Rosedene Nurseries Ormesby is only the second private day care provision in the Redcar and Cleveland Borough to be given the accolade and both of those nurseries are part of the Rosedene Nurseries Group.

The Ofsted report praised the children’s behaviour and self-development as well as the nursery staff’s exceptional relationship with other providers and parents. What’s more is the continuous improvement at the nursery, thanks to the rigorous company procedures and “highly targeted improvement plans” the nursery will continue to develop best practice in the future.

The nursery, which has been operating for 11 years, provides care for babies from six weeks old and children up to the age of eight.
