Our Achievements & Awards
At The Teepee Day Nursery we are very proud of our awards and achievements.
‘Outstanding’ Ofsted Inspection
The Teepee is the only day nursery to be judged as outstanding by Ofsted in Bracknell Forest. This means Ofsted think the nursery’s provision of childcare is “of exceptionally high quality.” Day nurseries don’t get any notice of an inspection, so the inspector gets to see what is really happening.
The inspector, Gail Robertson, said “The Teepee nursery is a highly effective nursery. It is outstanding in its work of caring for and developing children… All children make good progress as a result of high quality adult input, the children are happy, curious and well prepared for their next stage of education. There is a wealth of good quality resources in the nursery for the children to use. These are well maintained and well organised to promote children’s independence and to take responsibility for their own learning.”
” The nursery is most welcoming and there is a family feeling as soon as you walk in, the children share a warm and caring relationship with each other and staff. The leadership and management work tirelessly to constantly improve the provision. The practitioners are a strong, well trained, professional team and the children are well prepared to go on to their next phase of education.” To read more, click here.
Nursery World Awards 2011
In October 2011 we were awarded a “high commendation” for the best nursery website in the whole of the UK, along with our sister nursery The Wigwam. There were six finalists in this rigorous category and The Teepee and The Wigwam were the only two nurseries to be awarded high commendations for this particular award.
Investors in People
We achieved our accreditation first in 2005 and again in 2009. Investors in People has grown to be the UK’s leading people management business improvement standard because it delivers improved performance to thousands of organisations. It is considered world class as it was developed with some of the world’s leading (and often largest) organisations, but it is just as relevant for the smallest organisations. We understand we are only as good as our team, which is why we have focused on gaining this award.
Five Stars for Food Hygiene
We have five stars for our food hygiene, which is the highest rating you can get from the Environmental Health team in Bracknell and so we are understandably proud of this. The rating is based on a review of systems and processes as well as the actual practice the inspector sees on the day of their ‘no notice inspection’.
Healthy Eating Award
We were the first nursery in Bracknell to have received the prestigious Healthy Eating Award for our menu, and have been awarded it repeatedly ever since.
