Ofsted Inspection Summary

Brook Green Early Years was inspected by Ofsted on 8 September 2022 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children settle quickly on arrival, inspired by the inviting environment and activities. They move confidently around the premises and, at times, make choices whether to learn indoors or outdoors. Babies cruise around furniture and climb the small, enclosed slide and excitedly mount soft-play equipment to see their reflection in the mirror."

Key strengths

  • The manager is highly reflective and encourages her team to share their opinions.
  • Children develop strong bonds with the staff and their behaviour is consistently good.
  • The manager expects staff to concentrate on securing children's prime areas of development, which underpins their future success.
  • Children develop good practices to keep themselves healthy.
  • Parents confirm that staff exchange important information with them face to face and through technology, to support care and learning at home and at nursery.

Areas for improvement

  • provide staff with more frequent opportunities for professional development to support children's learning even further
  • focus staff development on supporting older children's problem-solving skills
  • give young children enough time to use resources in their own way, particularly in adult-led activities.
