Proud staff at Dunchurch nursery celebrate outstanding Ofsted rating

PROUD staff at a Dunchurch nursery are celebrating an outstanding rating from Ofsted.

Little Grange Nursery was praised for its staff expertise, learning provision, and indoor and outdoor settings.

Inspectors added: “Children flourish in this truly inclusive and nurturing nursery, and staff go above and beyond to provide children with a wide range of enriching experiences that help them learn about the world.

“Staff relentlessly design and enhance children’s learning by integrating the surrounding woodlands, forest school activities, visits to the chickens and an organic vegetable garden.”




Little Grange, part of the Rugby School Group, opened just over two years ago in the grounds of Bilton Grange in Dunchurch.

The Nursery cares for up to 100 children aged six months to five years, with a 24-strong team of staff led by Nursery Manager Anna Biddlestone.


Anna said: “We couldn’t be more proud or delighted.

“Staff here are indeed highly qualified and dedicated, they go above and beyond to provide engaging learning experiences adapted to suit every individual child’s needs.

“To provide childcare and development at this level takes a huge amount of effort and so it’s incredibly rewarding to achieve this outstanding rating.”

Little Grange Director and Headmaster of Bilton Grange, Gareth Jones, added: “The judgements from this inspection are astonishingly good and absolutely deserved.

“I am delighted for the staffing team and everyone who has supported Little Grange on its journey because I know how much hard work has gone, and continues to go, into making this an outstanding environment for the children to grow and develop.”
