We are thrilled to announce that Rosedene Easterside has been awarded an ‘Outstanding’ rating by Ofsted in their recent visit to our nursery!
The nursery, located in the heart of the Easterside community in Middlesbrough, received the top grade across categories including the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management.
This is a tremendous achievement that reflects the dedication and hard work of the entire team. We couldn’t have done it without the leadership of our amazing manager, Gemma, the unwavering commitment of our team, and the enthusiasm of the children they care for every day.
