Ofsted Inspection Summary
Acorns Nursery School was inspected by Ofsted on 27 August 2025 and received an overall rating of Inadequate.

Where concerns are raised about children's welfare, they do not always act on them appropriately or swiftly. At times, staff are slow to identify potential risks to children."
Key strengths
- Stringent procedures in place ensure children's allergies and dietary needs are supported.
- Children demonstrate a fondness for books and reading.
- The provider does not sufficiently identify weaknesses in staff's teaching and provide specific training to strengthen and improve their practice.
- Overall, children are happy and inquisitive learners that mostly play cooperatively with their peers.
- There are significant weaknesses in the continuity of care and education provided to children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
