A LITTLE over a year after opening, Brishing Barn Nursery is


celebrating achieving a “good” grade in its first ever Ofsted report. Set in a beautiful Grade II listed barn in Boughton


Monchelsea, just a short distance from Maidstone town centre, family-run Brishing Barn provides a welcoming


environment for little ones.


The nursery, which opened in September 2011, was awarded the good grade in all areas. Inspectors recognised the


excellent way staff meet the needs of the children and look after their well-being. The Ofsted report also praised the way the nursery is managed. Four bright and colourful rooms cater for children from birth to pre-school age. Snowy Owls is a dedicated baby unit with a sensory room. Separate sleeping and dining areas and a milk kitchen ensure the


babies’ routines are not disturbed by the older


children. One and two-year-olds go into the Little Owls room, toddlers are Tawny Owls and Barn Owls are the oldest children, preparing to fly off to primary school. Attractive, good quality toys and resources provide fun ways for children to learn and youngsters are given a wide choice of age- appropriate activities. The


nursery also has a garden


where children can enjoy stimulating play. The nursery is currently being expanded to cater for more under twos and the outdoor play area is being enhanced. Staff pride themselves on providing excellent home-cooked food and have a healthy eating policy. Nutritious meals and healthy snacks are prepared onsite by the nursery’s own cook, using high quality ingredients. Parents and staff enjoy warm
