Ofsted Inspection Summary

Fairways Childcare Centre was inspected by Ofsted on 25 September 2025 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Staff provide children with a wide range of engaging activities that promote curiosity, independence and resilience. During construction play, staff ask meaningful questions and introduce descriptive vocabulary such as 'wiggly' and 'pointy'. Children confidently share their ideas, experiment with shapes and develop problem-solving and language skills."

Key strengths

  • Staff provide highly individualised care that meets the needs of all children.
  • Families comment that children grow in confidence, independence and social skills while attending the setting.
  • Displays of children's photos across the setting celebrate diversity and individuality.
  • Staff sensitively adapt the provision for younger children who are not yet ready to participate in routines, for example offering one-to-one activities instead…
  • Community links are skilfully used to extend children's experiences.

Areas for improvement

  • plan more effectively for children to practise their independence and self-help skills, particularly at mealtimes.
