Ofsted Inspection Summary
Flying Start Nurseries was inspected by Ofsted on 8 May 2025 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children are happy, joyful and enthusiastic in this setting. They enjoy singing with staff, taking turns to choose their favourite songs. Children join in with the 'wheels on the bus go round and round', eagerly participating, demonstrating their understanding of dynamics by singing softly about babies and laughing together as they sing about dads snoring on the bus."
Key strengths
- Staff accurately assess children's needs, identifying what they need to learn next to make effective progress.
- Staff interactions with children are caring and attentive.
- Children frequently enjoy books and choose the ones they want to read with staff.
- Children have positive attitudes toward learning.

Areas for improvement
