Ofsted: Little Acorns Nursery is a Good Provider of Childcare

In their May 2025 inspection, Ofsted rated Little Acorns Nursery as ‘Good’ in every category. Although that’s no surprise to our early years professionals, it’s wonderful to see it officially recognised. The Ofsted inspector made some glowing comments in her report too. She remarked that the nursery’s leaders “have designed an aspirational curriculum that is implemented in a well-sequenced way throughout the nursery” and that leaders and staff “support all children to make good progress in their learning.” She also recognised the close-knit team which provides “a welcoming environment for the children” where “Children develop strong bonds with each other.” She also confirmed that “Parents who have children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) talk positively about the nursery’s commitment to multi-agency working.” And, more generally, stated “Children demonstrate high levels of confidence and self-esteem.” So — it’s clear that our approach is working well for little ones under our care.
