Farlington Day Nursery is delighted to announce that it has received a Good rating in its latest Ofsted inspection, reflecting the nursery’s commitment to providing a nurturing, stimulating and high-quality early years experience for every child.

The inspection praised the nursery for its welcoming and enjoyable environment, highlighting the strong, affectionate relationships built between staff and children. Inspectors observed children arriving confidently, eager to start their day, with younger children seeking reassurance from familiar adults and older children showing impressive independence and communication skills.

The report commended the nursery’s engaging, child-centred curriculum, designed to ignite curiosity and foster a love of learning. Children were seen exploring with confidence – from leading their own play to working together on outdoor bug hunts, sharing ideas and problem-solving as they went.

Inspectors noted the strong focus on developing children’s independence, with older children confidently pouring drinks, selecting cutlery and managing daily routines themselves. Staff were praised as positive role models, encouraging kindness, good behaviour and resilience in every child.

The Ofsted report also highlighted the nursery’s:
Commitment to professional development, with dedicated, qualified staff who continue to extend their knowledge through training.
Inclusive approach to SEND, working closely with professionals to provide targeted support and ensure all children thrive.
Active play opportunities, both indoors and outdoors, that help children develop strength, balance and coordination in fun, engaging ways.
Strong parent partnerships, with families recognising the progress their children make and the support offered with individual needs.

Nursery Manager [Insert Name] said:
“We are absolutely thrilled with our Good Ofsted rating. At Farlington, we strive every day to create a safe, inspiring ‘home from home’ environment where children can explore, be challenged, and develop a lifelong love of learning. This recognition is a true reflection of the passion and dedication of our incredible team.”

At the heart of Farlington Day Nursery’s ethos is a commitment to helping children grow into kind, independent and resilient learners. Through play-based, child-centred activities, practitioners skilfully support children to flourish – balancing freedom with gentle guidance to extend learning at the right moments.

The nursery team looks forward to building on this success, continuing to work closely with families and the community to provide the very best early years experiences.
