Inspection #10379473 · Source: Ofsted [View full Ofsted report](https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50267773) ## What parents say Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection > Overall, parents are very pleased with the care their children receive and the progress they are making. > They comment on the strong support they receive in relation to challenging milestones, such as toilet training and helping their children to move away from using dummies. > They recognise the benefits that consistent routines and expectations between the nursery and home have on their children's development. Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities learn to communicate effectively with staff, using visual cues. Staff follow children's leads, building on their understanding of what they are doing. Outdoor space The pre-school outdoor learning environment is in the early stages of development. Opportunities for children to learn and engage are not as successfully organised or arranged yet, which can interrupt learning and reduce concentration compared to indoors. Staff do create games for children to play where they can run around and develop their larger muscles. ## Parent Reviews of Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Houghton Regis 5.0 (1) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjX-CoHZ6VOXImvWkgBC8x0IgEHq-kaqSIkQHmGnAgtYRiQNg0tQ=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Евгения Шумейко a year ago [Read on Google](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m6!14m5!1m4!2m3!1sChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUQzLTVLOHNnRRAB!2m1!1s0x48764f240354a7e9:0xf53cd36705371a9b) Reviews from Google for Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Houghton Regis.
