Hungry Caterpillar Day Nurseries- Perivale

Hungry Caterpillar Day Nurseries-Perivale was inspected on 10 March 2023 under the legacy 4-area framework (Quality of Education, Behaviour and Attitudes, Personal Development, Leadership and Management), all graded Good. This analysis maps findings to the November 2025 7-area framework. The nursery demonstrates strong curriculum design with ambitious provision for all children, including those with SEND. Safeguarding arrangements are effective with secure recruitment and induction processes. The setting has declined from Outstanding (previous inspection, August 2017) to Good, indicating a trajectory of maintenance rather than improvement. Key areas for development centre on communication and language teaching practices (wait time for responses) and parent communication regarding staffing changes. The nursery shows particular strength in mathematical development and staff well-being support.
