Fennies Sanderstead

Fennies Beech House was inspected on 29 August 2025 under the legacy four-area framework (Quality of Education, Behaviour and Attitudes, Personal Development, Leadership and Management), with all areas graded Good and Safeguarding effective. This analysis maps those findings to the November 2025 seven-area framework. The setting demonstrates strong foundations in curriculum delivery, behaviour management, and leadership, with particular strengths in the key-person system, emotional development support, and staff collaboration. Two specific areas require targeted improvement: parent engagement around children's learning next steps, and consistency in communication and language modelling in the baby room. The setting maintains Good overall effectiveness with clear trajectory for improvement to Strong Standard across multiple areas.
