🎉 We’re delighted to announce our latest Ofsted result!

We are incredibly proud to share that following our Ofsted inspection on 24 June 2026, Paws Nursery School was judged to be at a ‘Strong standard’ in every area of the inspection. Ofsted describes a setting achieving a Strong standard as one where “leaders and staff are working above the standard expected of them” – a fantastic recognition of the dedication, care and hard work of our whole team.

The report recognises that our children are “confident communicators, curious learners and resilient problem solvers”, demonstrating high levels of engagement and perseverance in their play.

 

We were especially delighted to see Ofsted describe Paws as a “highly nurturing and welcoming atmosphere”, where children arrive happily, are greeted warmly by enthusiastic staff and are eager to begin their day.

The report also praised the strong relationships between our staff and families, noting that parents speak “extremely positively about the setting” and value the clear communication and support they receive. Our team were also recognised for creating a highly inclusive environment where children feel happy and safe, with parents describing how staff go “above and beyond” to support children who face barriers to learning.

​

Perhaps most importantly, Ofsted recognised the trusting relationships children develop with our staff, describing how children “thrive in their emotional wellbeing” because they benefit from kind, nurturing and empathetic adults.

We couldn't be prouder of our wonderful team and everything they do to make Paws such a special place for children and their families.

A huge thank you to our staff, children and parents for being part of the Paws family and helping us create such a happy, nurturing and inspiring environment. Click the Ofsted link below to read the full report.

We’re incredibly proud of this achievement – and even more proud of the children who make Paws what it is every day. ❤️
