Gooseberry Bush Day Nursery - GL7 6BQ

Gooseberry Bush Day Nursery Kemble was inspected on 6 January 2023 under the legacy four-area framework (Quality of Education, Behaviour & Attitudes, Personal Development, Leadership & Management). The report has been mapped to the November 2025 seven-area framework for analysis. The nursery maintains a Good overall rating with exceptional behaviour management and strong transitions. The setting has declined from Outstanding at the previous inspection (February 2017), primarily due to inconsistent capture of individual learning and imprecise next steps identification. Safeguarding arrangements are effective and all statutory requirements are met. The nursery demonstrates strong staff training culture, effective routines, and positive parent partnerships, with particular strengths in behaviour reinforcement and singing/rhymes integration.
