Ofsted Inspection Summary

The Orange Tree Day Nursery @ Stoke was inspected by Ofsted on 8 July 2025 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children are happy, safe and settled in this nurturing environment. Staff know the children well and use this knowledge to support their emotional needs. Staff provide stimulating activities that reflect children's interests."

Key strengths

  • While the planning of the curriculum is broad and ambitious, staff are continuing to develop how they implement and embed it into their everyday practice.
  • Children benefit from a wide variety of fresh, healthy, home-cooked meals and snacks.
  • Although mealtimes are calm and orderly, they are relatively quiet and children lack the social opportunity to share their thoughts and ideas.
  • Support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is good.
  • Staff understand their roles and responsibilities to keep children safe.

Areas for improvement

  • offer further support and monitoring of staff teaching practice, so that they implement the curriculum clearly and in a way that builds on what children…
  • enhance the use of mealtimes, so that children benefit from meaningful interactions that support their early language.
