Ofsted Inspection Report
Kiddicare Nursery is proud to provide a warm, nurturing, and inclusive environment where children’s learning, development, and wellbeing are at the heart of everything we do. We are a proud member of the Early Years Alliance and the NDNA (National Day Nurseries Association).
Our Pinner branch was judged to be Good at its most recent inspection by Ofsted (2023). This outcome reflects our strong practice in supporting children’s learning, wellbeing, and development.
Our Barnet branch is currently awaiting inspection. We work closely in partnership with Barnet Early Years services and the SEND team to ensure high-quality provision, inclusive practice, and appropriate support for all children, including those with additional needs.
The Ofsted report highlights our strengths in communication and language development, effective partnership with parents, positive behaviour management, and the promotion of children’s physical health and wellbeing.
Highlights from the Ofsted Report (2023)
“There is a strong focus on communication and language development. Staff support children to extend their vocabulary. For example, staff introduce words such as ‘edible’ and ‘inedible’ and help children understand what this means. Staff converse with children well during their play. All children, including children who speak English as an additional language, are becoming confident communicators.”
“Partnership with parents is highly effective. Parents speak positively about the setting and the caring and welcoming staff. They say that staff keep them well informed about their children’s learning, next steps and general progress. This helps to ensure the continuity of children’s learning at home.”
“Children behave well, and staff support them to develop their social skills. They use good manners and show respect to one another. This prepares them well for their next stages of education, including transition on to school, when applicable.”
“Children’s physical health and well-being are a priority for staff. Leaders ensure that children eat nutritious and balanced meals. Staff encourage children to become helpers and set up tables for lunchtime. This helps them to develop a sense of responsibility. Children practise their self-care skills as they learn to use utensils and feed themselves from a young age.”
We continue to reflect on our practice and work closely with staff, parents, and external professionals to further enhance outcomes for all children across our settings.
