Ofsted Inspection Summary

Second Steps Day Nursery (Colchester) Limited was inspected by Ofsted on 12 October 2023 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children are central to everything the nursery staff do. Leaders organise the curriculum, childcare space and staff arrangements with children's need for consistency in mind. They carefully consider how they arrange staffing to increase children's ability to spend quality time with those they are most familiar with, including their key person."

Key strengths

  • Staff share conversations, stories and songs with children and engage with them about their play throughout the day.
  • Parents report that they are happy with the care and education provided at the nursery.
  • Staff ensure that children spend plenty of time outside, where they can move freely and get exercise.
  • Staff show that they understand their roles and responsibilities.
  • Staff offer close support for children who are still learning key skills such as putting on their shoes or washing and drying their hands.

Areas for improvement

  • strengthen planned learning experiences so that staff can purposefully deliver key information to further strengthen children's knowledge.
