Building Blocks Teddington

Building Blocks was inspected on 27 January 2022 under the legacy four-area framework (Quality of Education, Behaviour and Attitudes, Personal Development, Leadership and Management), all graded Good. This analysis maps those findings to the November 2025 seven-area framework. The nursery demonstrates solid practice across most areas, with particular strengths in safeguarding, parent partnerships, and curriculum breadth. However, the inspection identified two key areas requiring development: inconsistent staff approaches to supporting children's play and gaps in managing transitions between activities. The nursery has declined from Outstanding (previous inspection, March 2016) to Good, suggesting some regression in practice consistency. The setting serves 169 children aged 1-4 with 32 staff, including one qualified teacher and 19 with early years qualifications (levels 2-6).
