Care Inspectorate visited Cathedral Nursery in June 2026 and graded all three evaluated areas as ‘Very Good’.
During their two‑days in Cathedral Nursery, inspectors found the following key strengths:
- A strong vision and ethos were positively informing practice and reflected in daily routines.
- Children and families benefited from a service that was developing the use of self-evaluation to identify and act on improvements across the service.
- Children and families were actively involved in evaluating the service. Their ideas and suggestions were valued and used to inform positive change.
- Nurturing and responsive relationships supported children to develop confidence and secure attachments. Staff responded warmly and consistently to children’s emotional needs, promoting a strong sense of wellbeing.
- Families were warmly welcomed into the setting and had opportunities to speak with staff and be part of their child’s learning and play experiences.
