Magdalen Nursery was inspected on 1 August 2022 under the legacy OFSTED framework (Quality of Education, Behaviour & Attitudes, Personal Development, Leadership & Management), all graded as Good. This analysis maps those findings to the November 2025 seven-area framework. The nursery demonstrates strong foundations with effective safeguarding, positive staff-child relationships, and a broad curriculum linked to children's interests. Children thrive emotionally and develop good attitudes to learning. However, two specific areas require attention: transition routines for younger children during activity changes, and staff use of precise vocabulary to enhance language development. The setting maintains consistent Good ratings across all areas, with particular strengths in inclusion (SEND support), curriculum implementation, and leadership's commitment to staff well-being and professional development.
