We are once again proud to have received a judgement of ‘GOOD’ in all areas during our recent routine Ofsted inspection which took place on 7th August 2025.

​

The Ofsted inspector praised the fantastic work we do with children of all ages and stages of development, as well as the important role we play in supporting our community.

​

Here are some highlights from our inspection report which can be found on the Ofsted website or by clicking this link:

​

‘The nursery is a small, friendly and community focused environment. Staff have created a lively and nurturing provision which enables children to learn, grow and develop.’

‘Managers have clear aims for the curriculum.’

‘Staff build positive relationships with children. This enables them to create individual learning plans and activities to help each child succeed.’

‘Children and babies are comfortable around staff.’

‘They help children to be independent. Babies show determination as they attempt to feed themselves. Older children radiate confidence when they achieve their goal…’

‘All children develop confidence in their own abilities. They learn the skills that they need to move on to the next stage in their learning…This promotes children’s self-resilience skills.’

‘Staff guide children in a sensitive and consistent way. For example, staff remind children to ask their friends if they can join in with their play. As a result, children of all ages behave well and play harmoniously together.’

‘Parents and carers state they are extremely happy with the service they receive. They are impressed by the progress their children make. Parents value the daily feedback they receive about their child’s day and achievements… Parents use the information to keep up to date about their children’s development. This helps support children’s learning at home.’

‘Staff understand the importance of children developing good communication and language skills. They make use of opportunities to join in with children’s play and conversations.’

‘The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. There is an open and positive culture around safeguarding that puts children’s interests first.’

 

Ofsted reports are of course important; they exist to give prospective parents a simple guide when choosing a setting for their child. They do however only result in a brief summary of what we do and only cover a snapshot of a day. And we do so much more! Arrange a viewing with us and find out more about the exceptional work we do with our little ones.

Nanny Plums – ‘The small nursery with a big heart.’
