South Acton Childrens Centre

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 24 May 2023

Children arrive at this nursery with a smile on their face. They very much look forward to the fun and adventures that they will have each day. Relationships between staff and children are strong. Staff care deeply about each and every child and want the best for them. All adults, especially the key workers, get to know children very well. This enables them to be responsive to children's interests and make sure that their needs are fully understood and met. Children are very well prepared for the next stage of their learning. Leaders and staff are aspirational for what all children can and do achieve here. This includes those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Children achieve consistently well across the curriculum. They benefit from excellent support from staff to build up their understanding and remember important ideas. Leaders place partnerships with parents and carers at the centre of all of their work. Staff keep parents very well informed on what their children are learning and how they can help. Regular workshops also provide further guidance on how parents can support their children's development at home. Leaders also involve parents in making valuable contributions to children's learning in the nursery. For example, parents come into school to speak to children about their different cultural celebrations and to read stories to them.
