The Old Station Nursery

Summary of outcome

All early years providers must meet the legal requirements in the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage, which you can find at www.gov.uk/government/publications/early-years-foundation-stage-framework--2. If we find that a provider is not meeting the requirements, we can take action to ensure they put matters right.

Summary of outcome

On 7 October 2026, we carried out a regulatory telephone call. The focus of the call was to check whether the provider had met the staff: child ratios, key person, and training and skills actions, raised at their last regulatory event.

p.1

Summary of outcome

We found that the provider has improved staff deployment and child supervision through organising staff deployment in the rooms more effectively. Staff have improved the routines to help children manage the transitions better. The manager is more involved in overseeing the implementation of these changes and the impact on the children's behaviour. Key person arrangements have been strengthened through improved observation and assessment of children's development. There is a more constant staff team who know children's individual needs. Staff have also benefited from targeted training, peer observations and ongoing supervision, resulting in a better understanding of children's behaviour, improved behaviour management strategies and more consistent support for children's emotional wellbeing. We are satisfied that the actions raised at the previous regulatory event have been met. The provider remains registered with Ofsted.

Publication of compliance action

We aim to ensure that the welfare of children and young people is protected in the services we regulate. The Childcare Act 2006 and accompanying regulations set out our responsibilities to regulate childminders and childcare providers. This includes the enforcement powers we have in relation to those registered providers who do not comply with the requirements for registration.

We publish details of any actions we take, or the childminder or childcare provider takes to bring about compliance with requirements on our website for a period of five years.
