Ofsted Inspection Summary

Stepping Stones was inspected by Ofsted on 2 May 2024 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children develop a sense of belonging as they wear their Stepping Stones uniforms with pride. They feel secure and quickly form attachments with staff. Children enjoy their time at nursery and learn to make friends and to nurture their friendships."

Key strengths

  • Leaders fully support staff's professional development and source training to help staff enhance their skills.
  • Staff adapt their planning to focus on children's changing interests.
  • Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are well supported.
  • Staff use a 'focus week' system to monitor and assess each child's learning, which works well overall.
  • Staff plan an environment rich in text which promotes a love of reading.

Areas for improvement

  • monitor children's next steps closely to ensure they are focused on what each child needs to learn next
  • continue to embed hygiene routines even further to help children consistently learn to understand and manage their own self-care needs.
