Ofsted Inspection Summary

Finlay Nursery was inspected by Ofsted on 17 September 2025 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children arrive happy and eager to explore the inviting learning environment. They move confidently between activities because staff plan a wide range of purposeful experiences that build securely on what children already know and can do. In both the two-year-old room and pre-school, staff set clear curriculum intentions."

Key strengths

  • Staff use a range of strategies to support children's understanding of positive behaviour and expectations.
  • Staff adapt and differentiate their teaching to meet the needs of all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
  • Partnerships with parents are good and support children's development.
  • Children take part in a wide range of activities that enrich the curriculum.

Areas for improvement

  • enhance the consistency of behavioural expectations to fully support children's understanding of what is expected of them
  • support staff to make group times more interactive, so children can engage fully and strengthen their communication, language and early literacy skills.
