What this report says
In plain English
criticalThe nursery was found not meeting some legal requirements during a visit, but has since put matters right.
Following a notification about staff ratios and premises safety, Ofsted visited the nursery on 20 October 2026 and found it was not meeting some requirements. The provider had already reviewed its emergency evacuation procedures and trained staff so children are always kept within sight or hearing. The provider remains registered with Ofsted, and details of this compliance action will be published on the Ofsted website for five years.
Going well
- Notified Ofsted of a significant event as the law requires
- Reviewed and updated emergency evacuation procedures
- Trained staff on their responsibilities during emergency evacuations
- Ensured children are kept within sight or hearing during evacuations
To improve
- Meet all legal requirements, which were not fully met at the visit
What parents should know
- Ask the nursery to explain the action it has taken on evacuation procedures and staff training.
- Ask how staff ratios are kept at all times, including during emergencies.
- The nursery remains registered, but its compliance action is published online for five years.
What other providers can learn
- Review emergency evacuation procedures regularly so staff know their responsibilities for keeping children within sight or hearing.
- Check staff ratios and premises safety against the Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage.
- Notify Ofsted promptly of significant events, as the law requires.
