Ofsted Inspection Summary
Busy Bees Day Nursery At Preston Ashton House was inspected by Ofsted on 8 May 2025 and received an overall rating of Requires improvement. In their report, inspectors noted: "The provision requires improvement Leaders know what they want children to learn and plan a well-sequenced curriculum. However, in practice, the weaknesses in the implementation of the curriculum mean that there are times when activities do not inspire children to learn, and the aims of the curriculum fall short of expectations. Although staff plan a range of learning experiences for children, they do not think well enough about what it is that they want children to learn."
Key strengths
- Staff make timely referrals and form positive relationships with other professionals to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
- Parent partnerships are good.
- In the main, children are supported well to develop their communication and language skills.
- Leaders have not addressed a previous recommendation raised at their last inspection.
- Leaders ensure that staff complete mandatory training, including paediatric first- aid and safeguarding.
Areas for improvement
- strengthen the key-person system so that all staff are aware of children's individual needs and parents are kept up to date about their current key person
- consider the organisation of transitions, in particular during mealtimes, so that waiting times are minimised and better support children's engagement.
