A PENKETH nursery has been rated as inadequate during their latest Ofsted inspection.
During a visit earlier this year, inspectors said Springwood Nursery and Link Club, based on Chapel Road, had a member of staff whose suitability had not been checked and was sometimes left
unsupervised with children.
The report added: "In addition, allegations against staff are not appropriately dealt with by the management team.
"This is a breach of the safeguarding and welfare requirements and seriously compromises children's safety."
Inspectors listed one of the strengths of the nursery as it was 'bright and welcoming and settling-in arrangements are effective in helping children feel emotionally secure'.
