Are you sure that this report is about a modern day Nursery in Accrington and not a Romanian Orphanage.............. having a child of pre school age this makes grim reading.

I dont know what to think about this report - it doesnt sound as if the actions are maliciously being done - it looks like a nursery that has been opened without proper planning and perhaps too many children were enrolled at the start leaving not much time for planning and adjustment
I remember thinking i was seeing things when i saw this place on warner street as it does seem an odd place for a nursery.

Perhaps the owner thought it was a good place for a start up and were planning to move to bigger premises - what seems good on paper doesnt always work out in reality.
Good luck to them lets hope they are working hard to put things right. x
I got a different impression. I wonder how many of the staff are young and with minimum qualifications.
I also wonder how children with English as an additional language (interesting that they use the word additional not second) are supported. There are a number of implications here but I do not think we should pursue them without further knowledge

Why would it have to be their second language? If they knew two others- how do you decide what order they go in?

Most people in Amsterdam speak Dutch, German, French and English. Which one would be their second language?

It doesnt work like that... by law there HAS to be a certain amount of each qualification level ( i cant think of the ratio off the top of my head) so there must be there right amount of level 3's for the nursery to be open. It doesnt sound like they take on students as the tutors have to visit the nursery so they would have been reported earlier for this..

Staff have to be fully qualified.. students are crb checked.

Re: Bad Reporting???

One positive of the OFSTED report is that there were an adequate number of level 3 employees etc.

Not always, as long as u have experience of working with young children is also considered with a crb which maybe within the criteria dependant on how direct u are working within the environment.

Re: Bad Reporting???

the unqualified ones work with the qualified ones....... you still have to have the right amount of qualified ones.

Re: Bad Reporting???

In the late 60s my son went to an LCC nursery.
Then they were for use by working mums, and not the haven for abused/neglected children, which they later became.
I do not know whether they still operate.
The 'qualification' for working in them was a 2 year full time training college course in Nursery Nursing.
It appears that standards have slipped a lot since then.

I also think that part of the problem is a lack of proper education. Once of a day as you point out nursery nurses had to do two years full time training. Seems to me that standards are slipping.

Re: Bad Reporting???

2 years full time or on the job training and college one night a week.... the one night a week option is only for mature students that can prove they have some experience already....the length of time you go one night a week depends on your experience and any qualifications you already have..... can be 1-3 years. Until you are fully qulified you are classed as a student so cant be left alone with the children.
