Ofsted Inspection Summary

Hunsdon House Garden School was inspected by Ofsted on 16 July 2025 and received an overall rating of Inadequate. In their report, inspectors noted: "Staff have an inconsistent knowledge of safeguarding and procedures to safeguard children. Furthermore, leaders have not ensured that at least one member of staff has a current paediatric first-aid certificate and is available at all times. Therefore, the nursery operates with staff that are not adequately trained to administer emergency treatment, if needed."

Key strengths

  • Leaders have not ensured that mandatory training has been maintained and that a suitable staff member is on duty with up-to-date paediatric first-aid training…
  • Staff ensure that children receive daily opportunities to be outside, where they build on many skills.
  • Staff provide good levels of support for children, developing their independence, resilience and curiosity.
  • Staff have the necessary knowledge and skills to manage children's behaviour appropriately.
  • Leaders have formed strong relationships with parents.

Areas for improvement

  • improve the programme of professional development for staff and focus more precisely on their training needs to raise their knowledge and skills.
