Statement regarding Bright Kids Evesham
We are aware of allegations circulating on social media regarding our nursery and would like to clarify the position.
A formal complaint was recently received and promptly investigated in accordance with our legal obligations and Ofsted requirements. The investigation was undertaken by our senior strategic team, separately from the nursery, with oversight from our Operations Director.
The concerns were also referred to LADO, who has since closed the referral, and we've notified Ofsted.
Following our investigation, ensuring our established and robust safeguarding policies and procedures were maintained, the allegations were not substantiated.
We firmly believe that every child should feel safe, supported and confident to express their feelings, share their experiences and speak up about anything that makes them uncomfortable. Children's voices are incredibly important, and we will always listen to and take seriously anything a child shares with us. This commitment remains unchanged, regardless of the outcome of any investigation.
We take every concern raised extremely seriously and will always follow the appropriate safeguarding procedures to protect the children in our care.
While we fully respect everyone's right to raise concerns, we also believe it is important that allegations are investigated fairly and that conclusions are not drawn before facts have been established.
We are also aware that further concerns, opinions and allegations, unrelated to the original complaint, have been shared publicly. We take all concerns seriously and encourage anyone with information or concerns about their experiences at any Bright Kids setting to contact our senior management team directly, so these can be properly recorded, reviewed and addressed through the appropriate procedures.
We respectfully ask that people avoid speculation or presenting unverified allegations as established facts, particularly where this may affect the children, families and employees involved.
