Ofsted Inspection Summary

Horwich Day Nursery was inspected by Ofsted on 28 July 2025 and received an overall rating of Inadequate. In their report, inspectors noted: "The provider lacks a clear understanding of the 'Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage' and fails to meet some of the requirements. This has led to several breaches that have impacted the overall provision. A lack of effective oversight has further contributed to low staff morale and poor well-being across the team."

Key strengths

  • Leaders fail to plan staff deployment effectively during routine organisational tasks.
  • The provider has not ensured that all staff are suitable to look after children.
  • Leaders and staff have undertaken some training, including basic safeguarding.
  • The arrangements in place to support children with SEND are not embedded.
  • Staff do not make full use of the available spaces to support the care, learning and development needs of children under two years old.

Areas for improvement

  • consider the organisation of some daily routines and tasks so that they do not interrupt children's play and limit learning in their chosen activities.
