Janet worked closely with our Nursery Manager and staff team to implement a targeted action plan in preparation for our upcoming Ofsted inspection. She provided valuable support to both staff and management by introducing new strategies aligned with the quality improvement framework and by offering practical ways to enhance children's learning within our setting.
Our staff members reported feeling significantly more supported, and their confidence in their own abilities grew as a direct result of Janet's guidance. The Nursery Manager found the management strategies suggested by Janet to be extremely helpful and, importantly, time-efficient, which has allowed her more capacity to provide support to the team.
Janet's help and support have been invaluable, and her extensive 26 years of experience truly shone through.
