Ofsted Inspection Summary

The Sunflower Centre was inspected by Ofsted on 18 February 2025 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "This is a harmonious nursery, where children are extremely helpful and polite. There is high priority given to providing a curriculum which helps all children develop highly positive attitudes to behaviour and learning. Staff use age- appropriate books to foster children's exceptional awareness of different emotions and how to regulate these."

Key strengths

  • Children, staff, parents and carers benefit from a highly supportive senior leadership team.
  • Leaders give staff's well-being a high priority.
  • The curriculum is ambitious.
  • Staff recognise the importance of working in partnership with parents and strive to build bonds based on trust and respect.
  • Staff benefit from regular feedback on their practice.

Areas for improvement

  • teach staff to step back and allow children space and time to complete tasks for themselves and further develop their independence, particularly at mealtimes
  • develop staff's skills to enable them to carefully manage transition times within the daily routines to minimise disruption to children's learning.
