Ofsted Inspection Summary

The Little Den Day Nursery - Basford was inspected by Ofsted on 17 October 2022 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Staff have a clear understanding of their key children. They respond well to their individual needs. For example, where children show signs of tiredness, hunger, or are generally unsettled, staff firstly meet that need and then provide the children with lots of cuddles as reassurance."

Key strengths

  • Staff comment incredibly highly about the support they receive from leaders.
  • The curriculum covers all areas of learning.
  • At times, the organisation of routines is not well thought out, particularly around mealtimes.
  • Staff find out children's starting points from parents.
  • Parents comment positively about the support that leaders provide for their children.

Areas for improvement

  • adapt the organisation of routines, particularly during mealtimes, to minimise waiting times for children
  • provide rich and stimulating activities as children free play, to ensure they remain engaged and highly motivated to learn.
