Ofsted Inspection Summary
Arkley'S Little Acorns Nursery School was inspected by Ofsted on 2 July 2025 and received an overall rating of Inadequate. In their report, inspectors noted: "Leaders do not have effective oversight of this setting, which means that the safety and welfare of children are not ensured. There are weaknesses in the induction procedures for new staff, and in the training and supervision of staff, that result in significant gaps in staff's safeguarding knowledge. Leaders have not taken sufficient action to mitigate the risk to children that poor safeguarding knowledge presents."
Key strengths
- Leaders have not delivered robust inductions or effectively monitored staff's practice through supervision meetings and training.
- Staff lack the confidence or knowledge to effectively support children with SEND.
- Staff do not work together as a cohesive team to deliver the same strategies and expectations.
- The nursery cook prepares healthy snacks, and allergies are well managed through the use of individual placemats for children.
- Some staff understand the importance of modelling language to children.
