Ofsted Inspection Summary

The Little Kew Nursery was inspected by Ofsted on 21 August 2025 and received an overall rating of Inadequate. In their report, inspectors noted: "There are significant weaknesses in leadership and management, as well as safeguarding arrangements, in the nursery. These weaknesses compromise children's safety. For example, managers do not deploy staff adequately, especially in the toddler and pre-school room."

Key strengths

  • Staff struggle to manage children's behaviour appropriately.
  • The provider fails to ensure that all staff, including new and inexperienced staff, receive the necessary support and coaching.
  • Staff implement a key-person system, which allows them to observe and assess children's learning.
  • The provider considers the layout of the nursery to enable children to move around freely, indoors and outdoors.
  • Staff are trained to recognise the signs of abuse and how to escalate concerns to the relevant agencies.
