Loddon Nursery School Ltd

Loddon Nursery School is an Outstanding early years setting that has maintained its exceptional rating since the previous inspection in April 2019. The nursery operates across all seven evaluation areas at the highest standard, with particular strengths in curriculum delivery, staff expertise, and inclusive practice. The report uses the legacy 4-area framework (Quality of Education, Behaviour and Attitudes, Personal Development, Leadership and Management), which maps to the November 2025 7-area structure as follows: Quality of Education → Curriculum and Teaching + Achievement; Behaviour and Attitudes → Behaviour, Attitudes and Establishing Routines; Personal Development → Children's Welfare and Well-being + Inclusion; Leadership and Management → Leadership and Governance. All legacy grades (Outstanding) translate to the Exceptional grade (95-100 score) in the new framework. Safeguarding is confirmed as effective (Met). The setting demonstrates exceptional practice across all areas with no identified areas for improvement in the inspection report.
