Kenwood Nature Nursery was inspected on 18 October 2023 under the legacy OFSTED framework (4-area structure: Quality of Education, Behaviour and Attitudes, Personal Development, Leadership and Management). All areas were graded 'Good'. This analysis maps the legacy findings to the November 2025 7-area framework. The nursery demonstrates strong practice in outdoor/forest school education, risk management, and staff qualifications (16 of 20 staff hold Level 3+, including six at Level 6). The setting maintains consistent 'Good' performance across all areas. Key strengths include effective safeguarding, high staff expectations for SEND inclusion, and strong parent engagement. The inspector identified two specific areas for development: inconsistent use of open-ended questioning during child-initiated play and limited adult-led learning opportunities. These findings map primarily to Curriculum and Teaching (legacy Quality of Education) and Achievement areas in the new framework.
