Ofsted Inspection Summary

Acorn Childcare Centre was inspected by Ofsted on 22 March 2024 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children's voices are heard and respected in this inviting nursery. For example, in the toddler room, children are asked to vote for which book they want staff to read to them. In the baby room, when children point to paints, staff provide them with craft activities to explore these."

Key strengths

  • The manager and staff focus the curriculum on promoting children's interests and using these to extend and build on children's learning.
  • The management team and staff support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities very well.
  • The management team and staff work closely with the host school.
  • Children learn skills in preparation for their move on to school, such as to be independent.
  • Overall, staff support children's behaviour in the nursery well.

Areas for improvement

  • support staff in the pre-school room to help children understand all of the rules and boundaries that are in place
  • help staff to strengthen their interactions with children in the baby room to support their early communication skills.
