The Shekinah Glory Day Nursery is proud to achieve a “GOOD” rating in both of our settings at our last OFSTED inspection.

At Shekinah Glory Day Nursery, we are committed to providing the highest standards of care and education. To ensure this, we are regularly inspected by Ofsted, the Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills. These inspections help maintain high-quality provision and guide continuous improvement across all areas of our nursery.

During an inspection, the Ofsted inspector will spend time observing our staff and children to understand the relationships we build and how well we support each child’s learning and development. They will also review a selection of documents, inspect our premises and equipment, and ensure we meet all statutory requirements.

At Shekinah Glory Day Nursery, we take our duty of care seriously and ensure a safe, supportive, and healthy environment for every child, member of staff, parent, and visitor.

We carry out thorough risk assessments across all areas of our settings to maintain high standards of safety. Additional assessments, permission slips, and structured planning are in place for any outings or off-site activities.

Our corporate responsibility extends to all our stakeholders–children, families, staff, and the wider community–ensuring we deliver quality care and education in a professional and responsible manner.

Healthy Eating & Wellbeing

Children are encouraged to self-serve during mealtimes, fostering independence and making informed choices. Fresh drinking water is available throughout the day. We are a healthy nursery and participate in the Government’s free milk scheme. Parents are kindly asked to provide regular healthy snacks such as fruit, rice cakes, or breadsticks.

Staff take great care to prepare food safely–cutting items like grapes and cherry tomatoes to prevent choking hazards–and work closely with families on any dietary updates.

Please note: We are a nut-free setting and maintain strict allergen control to ensure every child’s safety.
