Ofsted Inspection Summary

Acorn Day Nursery Shenley was inspected by Ofsted on 18 February 2025 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Leaders and staff know that for children to be ready to learn well, they first need to feel happy and safe. Leader therefore put in place a highly successful programme of 'settling-in' arrangements before children start to attend nursery. Where possible, they offer home visits to get to know children and their families."

Key strengths

  • Staff provide children with a wide range of experiences that help them learn to look after, and appreciate, the natural world.
  • Staff read to babies and children regularly, in ways that promote a love of books.
  • Staff use numbers and some mathematical concepts during daily routines and when joining in with children's self-chosen play.
  • Right from the start children are taught the skills they need to become increasingly independent.
  • Children gain a positive view of following an active lifestyle.

Areas for improvement

  • develop further the planning and delivery of the curriculum for mathematical development.
