What this report says
In plain English
mixedFull day care nursery had safety and supervision failings, but improvements were found at a further visit.
Ofsted found the nursery was not meeting some legal requirements at a visit in September 2026, and a welfare requirements notice was issued. These concerned staffing, supervision, outdoor space safety and regular risk checks. At a further visit in October 2026, inspectors found these actions had been met and the nursery remains registered.
Going well
- Staffing and deployment improved so children are now supervised at all times
- Significant improvements made to the outdoor space, which is now safe and appropriate
- Further risk assessments implemented with regular, accurate checks in place
- Inspectors are satisfied that the safeguarding and welfare actions raised have been met
To improve
- Staffing arrangements and supervision of children had to improve to meet needs
- Staff deployment had to ensure all children are always within sight or hearing
