Ofsted Inspection Summary

First Steps Nursery was inspected by Ofsted on 10 October 2023 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children show positive relationships with staff. For example, in the baby room, children sit with staff for comfort when they are tired or to listen to a story. Children in the toddler room learn new skills that help them to develop the muscles in their hands in preparation for early writing."

  • In the baby room, staff hold onto children's hands to support their balance when they begin to take their first steps.
  • Staff implement rules and boundaries, helping children to understand what is expected of them.
  • The manager and staff implement a curriculum that helps children to be ready for their next stage of learning.
  • When children move rooms within the nursery, parents are given a welcome pack that gives them information about the staff who will be caring for their children.

Areas for improvement

  • support staff to help more mobile children in the baby room to build on their large physical skills indoors
