The arrangements for safeguarding were effective.

There was also praise for the manager, who supported her team well and had effective systems in place to monitor staff practice and support their wellbeing.

The nursery was rated 'good' at its previous inspection in 2017, when it was known as Little Acorns.

Just Childcare operations director Liz Carroll told the Voice that the layout of the nursery had an impact on the rating.

She said: “The inspector raised concerns about disruptions in the toddler room during drop off and collection times.

“We have since implemented a reorganisation of the parentchild collection process to fully address these concerns.

“We are now looking forward to welcoming Ofsted back to our nursery, allowing them to review the improvements we have made.

“We are confident that these positive changes will be reflected in an updated report."

"While we are naturally disappointed by the outcome of the Ofsted inspection, we take pride in the commendations the team at Tippytoes received.

"The report highlighted that children in our nursery feel safe, enjoying their time and forming strong bonds with our staff.

“The team’s well-planned activities, which promote children's development and independence were also recognised."
