Ofsted Inspection Summary

Kaleidoscope Day Nursery was inspected by Ofsted on 20 August 2025 and received an overall rating of Inadequate. In their report, inspectors noted: "Leaders do not implement rigorous recruitment and vetting procedures. For example, they do not undertake Disclosure and Barring service (DBS) checks for all staff who work directly with children. Leaders do not follow advice from the local authority designated officer to improve their recruitment procedures following previous incidences, where DBS checks were not completed."

Key strengths

  • Leaders seek advice from external safeguarding partners but do not act on the guidance they receive.
  • Staff deliver a broad and balanced curriculum that nurtures children's interests.
  • Children benefit from staff's positive and supportive interactions.
  • Parent partnerships are positive.
  • Support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities and children who speak English as an additional language is strong.
