View Full Report

We are super excited to announce that on 5 April 2023, Little Pumpkins Nursery in Lee achieved an outstanding rating in their latest OFSTED report. What an incredible achievement, only 16% of all nurseries in the UK have secured such a rating. Here's what OFSTED had to say: 

“Children thrive in this small, well-established nursery. Children's behaviour is exemplary. They follow daily routines exceptionally well, creating a calm and productive atmosphere. Children independently and willingly share and take turns with others. They build secure relationships with staff, who give lots of praise for their efforts and achievements. Babies show strong bonds with staff and enjoy lots of cuddles, which helps them feel safe and secure. 

Children are keen and eager to learn. They show strong friendships as they play happily together and listen intently to each other speaking. Staff's strong focus on promoting children's personal, social and emotional development ensures that they are well equipped for their future learning, including school. 

Children benefit from an excellent curriculum that successfully promotes all areas of learning. Staff identify children's individual learning needs exceptionally well, including children who have additional needs. Precise and targeted planning, along with successful engagement with parents, ensures that children's learning at home and at nursery is cohesive. As a result, all children make the best progress in their learning and development from their starting points."
