Fennies Addiscombe Road

Fennies Addiscombe Road was inspected on 2 August 2023 under the legacy four-area framework (Quality of Education, Behaviour & Attitudes, Personal Development, Leadership & Management), with all areas graded 'Good'. This analysis maps those findings to the November 2025 seven-area framework. The nursery demonstrates consistent strengths in safeguarding, behaviour management, parent partnerships, and staff deployment. The single explicit area for improvement identified by the inspector concerns the consistency of adult-child interactions during learning activities. The report notes that while "the quality of activities is high, however, on occasion some interaction between adults and children are variable and does not always support children's learning and development." The nursery maintains stable leadership, strong staff retention, and effective SEND support. Overall effectiveness remains 'Good' across all mapped areas, with Curriculum & Teaching and Achievement at the lower end of the 'Good' range due to the interaction quality variance.
