Ofsted Inspection Summary

Beenham Caterpillars was inspected by Ofsted on 19 February 2025 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "As children arrive at the nursery, they receive warm and welcoming interactions from staff, who engage in conversations with them. Children form strong emotional attachments with staff, who get to know them well. This helps children to settle quickly and feel safe and secure."
