Ofsted Inspection Summary

Spotted Dog Day Nursery was inspected by Ofsted on 30 May 2025 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Staff promote children's sense of self and belonging well. Children are engaged in their play and choose from a good range of resources and fun activities. They play independently and with their friends, chatting together and solving problems."

Key strengths

  • Staff count with children during their day but do not routinely include mathematical concepts and language in their teaching and play.
  • Staff focus on children's physical skills and core strength from an early age.
  • Children develop stamina and broaden their learning as they have adventures in the nearby woodland areas.
  • Staff teach children about the differences and similarities between themselves and others.
  • Partnership working with parents is effective and there is a good flow of information.

Areas for improvement

  • develop the curriculum for mathematics and support staff to implement this effectively
  • support staff to develop confidence in their teaching to promote children's learning further through each interaction across the curriculum.
