Shapes Day Nurseries Reigate - Main Location

Shapes Day Nurseries Limited is an outstanding early years setting that has maintained its exceptional status since the previous inspection in 2017. The nursery operates with a pre-November 2025 framework (4-area model: Quality of Education, Behaviour and Attitudes, Personal Development, Leadership and Management), all graded Outstanding. This analysis maps these findings to the new 7-area November 2025 framework. The setting demonstrates exceptional practice across all areas, with particular strengths in curriculum planning, staff expertise, inclusion of children with SEND, and leadership commitment to continuous improvement. Safeguarding arrangements are effective with robust knowledge and consistent routines embedded throughout. The nursery has invested significantly in resources, specialist staff (language and dance teachers), and staff development, creating an environment where children thrive and make excellent progress from their starting points.
