Ofsted Inspection Summary

The Rocking Horse Childcare Centre was inspected by Ofsted on 24 February 2023 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children happily arrive at the nursery and are greeted by the friendly and welcoming staff. They independently hang their coats on their assigned pegs before exploring the activities that staff have planned. Children build strong and warm relationships with staff."

Key strengths

  • The manager has recognised that, following the COVID-19 pandemic, specialist services are extremely busy.
  • Staff give children timely reminders about the expectations of the nursery, such as 'kind hands' and 'walking feet'.
  • There are effective arrangements in place for supervisions, which includes opportunities to identify training needs.
  • Staff know the children well, and they plan activities based on the children's interests.
  • Staff maintain good levels of hygiene and safety in the nursery.

Areas for improvement

  • help children to understand why they are being praised for positive behaviour so they develop an awareness of behavioural expectations
  • provide highly effective teaching that helps children to achieve the best possible outcomes.
