Cressex Day Nursery Ltd

Cressex Day Nursery was rated Good overall at the December 2021 inspection, representing a decline from Outstanding at the previous inspection in November 2015. The report was conducted under the legacy 4-area framework (Quality of Education, Behaviour & Attitudes, Personal Development, Leadership & Management), which has been mapped to the November 2025 7-area framework for this analysis. All legacy areas were graded Good, mapping to Expected Standard (60-79) across the new framework areas. Safeguarding arrangements are effective and meet requirements. The nursery demonstrates strong practice in behaviour support, parent partnerships, and staff well-being, but has two explicit areas for improvement: inconsistent delivery of curriculum intent across staff and age groups, and ineffective procedures for timely completion of two-year progress checks.
