Ofsted Inspection Summary

Little Steps Montessori Nursery School was inspected by Ofsted on 3 July 2025 and received an overall rating of Inadequate. In their report, inspectors noted: "Leaders do not fully understand their roles and responsibilities to protect and care for children. This has resulted in breaches of the statutory safeguarding and welfare requirements that impact on the quality of children's welfare and education. Leaders do not keep up to date with current early years legislation."

Key strengths

  • Leaders do not carry out the necessary suitability checks robustly enough to ensure any volunteers who are regularly at the setting are suitable to work with…
  • Leaders do not monitor staff practice effectively to ensure staff understand their responsibilities.
  • Staff's understanding of the curriculum and their delivery of it is inconsistent.
  • Leaders and staff do not demonstrate a secure understanding of how to effectively support children with SEND.
  • Despite some weakness at this setting, there are several positive aspects.
