Ofsted Inspection Summary
York House Nursery was inspected by Ofsted on 27 August 2025 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children show trust in the familiar staff and are at ease and happy in their care. For example, babies snuggle up close while enjoying their milk, comforted by staff's gentle care and attention. Older children show great confidence."
Key strengths
- Staff talk to children and join in activities.
- Group activities help to encourage children's listening and attention skills.
- The support for children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities, or who take more time to reach their learning goals, is a strength.
- Occasionally, staff do not give children clear and consistent guidance when they transition between activities.
- Leaders have a realistic overview of the strengths in the nursery and clear plans for development.
Areas for improvement
- provide more precise guidance and modelling to help children to master new skills more quickly
- pace activities effectively so that children have sufficient time to learn and practise new skills
- provide clear and consistent expectations, particularly during transitions, to help children remain engaged and settled throughout the day.
