Lawn Lane Day Nursery Celebrates Outstanding Ofsted Rating  

We are delighted to share some truly wonderful news from our Lawn Lane Day Nursery. Following a recent inspection, Ofsted has awarded us the highest possible rating: Outstanding in every area!  

The inspectors captured beautifully what makes Lawn Lane so special: 

“Children thrive here due to highly qualified staff who use their expert knowledge and skilful interactions to create a safe and enriching environment for all children. Children are happy to start their day and are greeted by kind and enthusiastic staff. All children quickly become engrossed in activities of their choosing which have been carefully planned and developed to suit all learners. This creates a warm, nurturing and highly stimulating environment.” 

The report praised many aspects of our nursery life, including: 

  • “Leaders have developed a unique curriculum, which is clear and ambitious for all children.” 
  • “Children are supremely self-sufficient and adept at doing things for themselves.” 
  • “Parents say they feel exceptionally valued… they appreciate how staff support their children and value the communication they have with their child’s key person.” 

Nursery Manager, Chloe Sanders, shared her pride in the team: 
“I am so incredibly proud of our team at Lawn Lane. Every day, they bring passion, creativity, and care into our nursery, and this outstanding recognition is a reflection of the love and dedication they show to each and every child. It is inspiring to see children grow in confidence, imagination, and independence, and we are honoured to share this journey with our families.” 

Our Head of Early Years Practice, Charlie White, added: 
“This outstanding rating celebrates the very best of early years practice. Our Lawn Lane team has created a joyful environment where children feel safe, inspired, and ready to explore the world. It is a shining example of how we live our values at Seymour House, putting children at the heart of everything we do.” 

We are incredibly proud of this achievement, which reflects the dedication of our Lawn Lane nursery family and the close partnerships we share with parents and carers.
