What this report says
In plain English
mixedFollowing notifications about supervision and an injury, the nursery was found not meeting some requirements but has put this right.
Ofsted visited the nursery on 22 October 2026 after the provider notified it of matters relating to supervision and of a separate accident and injury. Inspectors found the provider was not meeting some of the requirements but had already taken action. The provider has strengthened supervision and safety arrangements in the garden and indoor areas, reviewed risk assessments, staff deployment and garden layout, and reinforced expectations with staff. The provider remains registered with Ofsted.
Going well
- The provider notified Ofsted of significant events as the law requires
- Action was taken to strengthen supervision and safety before the visit
- Risk assessments, staff deployment and garden layout were reviewed
- Staff were reminded of expectations about supervision and safety
To improve

What parents should know
- Ask the nursery how supervision and safety in the garden and indoor areas have changed
- Ask what the provider will tell you about the matters that led to this visit
- The nursery remains registered, and this report records action taken to put matters right
What other providers can learn
- Check supervision and deployment arrangements, especially in outdoor spaces, against the statutory framework
- Review risk assessments and garden layout after any significant event or injury
- Make sure staff understand supervision expectations and are reminded of them regularly
