Castle View Day Nursery - Main Location

Castle View Day Nursery Ltd received an Outstanding rating across all areas in the April 2022 inspection under the legacy 4-area framework (Quality of Education, Behaviour & Attitudes, Personal Development, Leadership & Management). This analysis maps those findings to the November 2025 7-area framework. The nursery demonstrates exceptional practice with secure relationships, highly engaged children, outstanding behaviour, and strong leadership. All staff hold appropriate qualifications (3 at Level 6, 12 at Level 3, 2 at Level 2, plus 3 apprentices). The setting has progressed from Good (2017) to Outstanding (2022), indicating sustained improvement. Safeguarding arrangements are effective with robust procedures, regular training, and confident staff knowledge. The key-person system is strongly embedded, and partnership with parents is extremely effective.
