my 17month old son wa going to nurser when ofsted closed it temporary until the faults could be rectified.we were informed n a sunday morning that the nursery wouldnt beopened on monday .i was told by the owner it would open the following week which it hasnt.i took last wek off week but had to find child cae this week.ofsted wont tell us what the issues were but said the sandards were not being met and it could affect the babies and children there.what concerns me is ofsted went in to do an inspection in april all was stisfactory so what happened in a month.also i think ofsted should tell us what the problems were it all seems so wrong.what do you all think?

Hi I have answered on your previous question. As far as I am aware, Ofsted will detail what the nursery has to do on their website in the inspection report section. Unless this has changed recently whenever I have checked out reports all the recommendations are detailed for parents to see.
Like I said on the other thread a nursery has to be pretty bad to be closed down immediately, this could have been anything from staff ratios/qualifications to health and safety. Can you look up their previous report and see what they were graded before this. My guess is they can't have been graded very well before, it is highly unlikely to go from being outstanding or good to unsatisfactory.

i am a nursery nurse and a mum to 4 and would just like to say for a nursery to be shut suddenly it must be to with the safety of the children for example it may not have been safe ! and if its only been a month since there inspection its either a number of complaints or the nursery were in trouble from that visit that warrents this visit this time !!
