Open a Nursery - Curtly Ania Arvostelua 

We had a really great experience with Open a Nursery in the UK and would definitely recommend their services to anyone preparing for an Ofsted inspection.

We booked an in-person session with Curtly at quite short notice, and he was very accommodating and able to fit us in, which we really appreciated. During the visit, we went through interview preparation and also did a full walk-through of the building.

Curtly suggested a few changes during the walkthrough, and thankfully we were able to get these done in time before the inspection, which made a big difference. His advice was practical, clear, and based on real experience, and it really helped boost our confidence going into the inspection.

We’re so pleased to say that we successfully passed, and the support we received definitely played a part in helping us feel prepared.

Thank you again, Curtly, for your guidance and encouragement. We’re very grateful and would happily recommend Open a Nursery in the UK to anyone starting their Ofsted journey.

I cannot thank Curtly enough for his guidance and support. Without his assistance i would not be able to pass the Ofsted registration visit in 1st time. Thanks again

Very exceptional and supportive

Curtly’s approach was incredibly structured. We worked through each section of the interview methodically and provided feedback after each question. Where to tweak and what else to consider.

Before this session, I was nervous about the Ofsted visit, but now, after the session, I am confident that I will succeed.

My face to face consultation with Curtly went really well. He was there on time, relaxed and ready to support and advise me. This meeting was about a new premises for my nursery. As this is my first nursery, I was relying on him for support. The two hours (he stayed for more than two and half hours until the end of the meeting) was very productive. We were able to discuss with the landlord all the issues on my list, from the layout of the nursery like were to put the toilets for the children, the kitchen, the staff room and the manager’s office. All the essential details were agreed with the landlord. For me, among other things agreed today, the two most important achievements were the main entrance change and the open plan option. The decision to move the entrance to the back of the building probably saved me a lot of stress, money and time. By the end of the consultation, I had a clearer view of what the nursery will look like. I now have the confidence to proceed with the contract and building work. The consultation was a success.

The "Open a Nursery" courses and YouTube videos have been excellent resources for me as I embarked on starting my own nursery. They guided me from the initial idea all the way to a successful visit from Ofsted. I highly recommend these courses to anyone who dreams of starting their own nursery.

I am so glad that I met Curtly and feel blessed to have him support me through my journey! He is extremely knowledgeable.

I had an online consultation with Mr. Curtly Ania for my new nursery business, and it was incredibly helpful! He was knowledgeable, patient, and answered all of my questions thoroughly. His advice gave me a clear direction and boosted my confidence to move forward. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for expert guidance!

A wealth of experience. Very helpful consultation as I venture into a new business. I got a lot of answers from just an hour of consultation and recommended him highly. Thank you.

I had an hours consultation with Curtly this week, it was really great to talk about a potential nursery I’m looking at, covered some areas I was unsure on and pointed out some things I hadn’t thought of, feeling more confident about going forward now too!

Curtly has created a rich resource of valuable content for everyday people looking to open a childcare business. The content is highly insightful, practical and up to date. As soon as there are changes in legislation and policy Curtly will soon publish a video or an article clearly explaining the implications for business owners. I've found it extremely helpful as a new entrant to the nursery business and it's reassuring to know Curtly can be booked for advice call or you can reach out to the Facebook community that he's built. It's simply brilliant.

Curtly was.very helpful. He answered to all our questions and gave us a guidance as to where we should start.

Had an issue and was dealt with promptly. I would use again !

Great service

Curtly is an excellent consultant and professional with a wealth of knowledge and experience in nurseries and chilcdcare. He is an extension and advisor of our team at Little Loggers Pre-school. His time and expertise is worth every second, i’d confidently recommend any business owner or childcare professional to consult with him!

Excellent communication and it’s definitely a good course for someone who wants to open a nursery.

Honestly I can't rave enough about how helpful and ideal the support from curtly is. All of his documents are so thorough they cover every single thing and the course is amazing, so details and breaks down each and every step. Well worth every penny!

Very approachable and easy to talk to. Answered my questions directly.
