Ofsted Inspection Summary

Busy Bees At Bicester Kingsmere was inspected by Ofsted on 20 May 2025 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Since the last inspection, the provider has instigated significant improvements that have raised the quality for children. Staff now support children's behaviour effectively, and children are, overall, settled and ready for learning. Children are confident and enjoy exploring the activities on offer."

Key strengths

  • There is a logical order to the curriculum, and this builds on what children already know.
  • Some adult-led activities for older children are not always carefully planned and thought-out.
  • Children are self-motivated and able to lead their own play.
  • Staff treat children kindly and handle babies respectfully.
  • The setting is inclusive and supports children and families from diverse backgrounds.

Areas for improvement

  • embed the curriculum so that all staff are confident in implementing it effectively
  • encourage opportunities for children to be more purposefully involved in activities that are led by adults.
