Ofsted Inspection Summary

First Steps Nursery was inspected by Ofsted on 26 November 2024 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Staff greet children with a smile at the front door as they arrive full of chatter and excitement ready for photo day. Children separate from their parents with ease and go off to find the inviting learning environments staff have created for them. Leaders and staff have designed an ambitious, well-planned curriculum to ignite children's imagination and curiosity."

Key strengths

  • Overall, leaders and staff plan effective care routines to support children's personal development.
  • Staff support the development of communication and language well.
  • Staff support children to understand their own feelings and emotions.
  • Effective relationships with parents and professionals have a positive impact on children's learning and development.
  • Following a recent concern of a safeguarding incident, leaders failed to notify Ofsted of this significant event.

Areas for improvement

  • improve deployment and organisation of staff at lunchtimes to meet children's needs
  • monitor more closely the implementation of the curriculum when routines change to ensure that all children's learning needs are met.
