Ofsted Inspection Summary

Little Acorns Childcare was inspected by Ofsted on 15 August 2023 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children enjoy their time with staff, who support them well to engage in play in a calm nursery environment. Staff get to know children well and place a strong emphasis on their well-being. For example, staff keep in contact with the parents of babies who are settling and ensure that sessions are not too long so that babies' time at nursery is positive."

Key strengths

  • Children are confident to be independent throughout the day.
  • Staff report high levels of well-being and receive good support.
  • Staff support children's communication and language skills effectively.
  • Staff carefully observe children's play and have a good understanding of their development.
  • Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive good support to help identify and understand their needs.

Areas for improvement

  • develop further the curriculum to ensure that it is even more ambitious to extend children's critical thinking, particularly for the oldest children
  • strengthen and further embed agreed strategies for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities, to create more consistency in staff practice.
