A nursery in Stretford has been deemed "inadequate" following an inspection resulting in a damning report. Ofsted officials visited Little Learners Day Nursery on April 14 and made the judgement on all categories of assessment.
The facility on Edge Lane has 156 children aged up to four years old on its roll and employs 26 childcare staff. Inspector Shauneen Wainwright opened her report by saying: "The provision is inadequate. Weaknesses in the leadership and management of this nursery impact on children's safety, personal development and ability to learn. The management team fails to follow safeguarding procedures."
She said they have "failed to inform relevant professionals of an allegation made against a member of staff". Ms Wainwright goes on: "They have also failed to work in partnership with the parents of the children involved. This means parents are not equipped with essential information needed to emotionally support their children."

She said that friction between the management team and some staff "creates an atmosphere of hostility and this does not promote vigilance and awareness". "Additionally, some hazards within the premises go unnoticed," she said.
Ms Wainwright said that not all children have the same opportunities. "A small group of children, who were involved in inappropriate behaviour management incidents, have different experiences in this setting," she said.
"This impacts upon their ability to access the curriculum and relax and enjoy their time at nursery," she said. "Other children show close bonds wiTh their peers and staff. Staff are particularly attentive and sensitive to the varying needs of babies.
