Ofsted Inspection Summary
Play Away Day Nurseries Ltd was inspected by Ofsted on 24 June 2025 and received an overall rating of Requires improvement. In their report, inspectors noted: "The provision requires improvement Older children arrive happily and are familiar with the morning routine. However, staff do not give enough assurance to babies, particularly on arrival when some of the youngest babies struggle to separate from their parents and carers. This, at times, creates an unsettled atmosphere for the room of babies."
Key strengths
- Older children benefit from the supportive relationships formed with staff, a view shared by parents.
- Leaders ensure that there are appropriate arrangements in place to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
- Staff support the development of problem-solving and teamwork skills effectively, such as during exploration of the large-scale water area.
- Children's communication and language skills are well supported.
- Staff support children to build their independence and confidence in preparation for the next stage of learning.
Areas for improvement
- strengthen consistency in supporting children's understanding of why routines are in place to support and promote hygiene practices
- develop consistency in supporting children's behaviour to help them understand right from wrong.
