Ofsted Inspection Summary

Stepping Stones Day Nursery was inspected by Ofsted on 10 January 2023 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children are warmly welcomed by a friendly and nurturing staff team. They come happily into a well-organised, safe and homely environment. Staff provide reassurance and comfort to children when they become upset, encouraging them to explore their emotions by talking to them about their feelings."

Key strengths

  • Children's communication skills are encouraged throughout the nursery.
  • From an early age, children have access to books.
  • When children first start the nursery, staff gather detailed information from parents on children's care routines and developmental progress to date.
  • Staff complete detailed observations and assessments of children's progress.
  • Partnership with parents is a strength of the nursery.

Areas for improvement

  • consider the length of time young children need to respond during conversations, so that they can fully think out the solutions to their problems and questions
  • support staff to make a clear link between the intent and delivery of planned activities to enable them to shape all activities to children's learning needs.
