Ofsted & Policies

We were inspected by Ofsted in August 2025, under the previous Early Years Foundation Stage Inspection Framework (revised in Sept 2025). We received a Good grading in every area and Good overall. The inspector fed-back that she considered our Under-2s area of Babies and Explorers was Outstanding. Our sister nursery in Stamford, Lincolnshire is rated Outstanding by Ofsted. Placing the children's well-being at the heart of our practice is the key to our success, and every decision we make starts with the question 'how will this benefit our children?'.

Our Ofsted Registration number for The Children's Garden Montessori Nursery & Forest School is EY549988.
