## About this day nursery

Barnabas House Private Nursery, established in 1992, is a childcare setting for children aged 1 to 4 years located in Darwen. The nursery operates year-round, Monday to Friday, from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM.

The setting focuses on creating a positive and safe environment where children are valued and cared for, and safeguarding standards are met. Leaders and staff demonstrate a good understanding of individual children's needs, particularly for those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), offering targeted support through strategies like small-group activities and personalised guidance.

They work with families and external professionals to ensure effective interventions and resource allocation. Children engage in sensory experiences with sand and water, and show curiosity when using outdoor equipment like bikes and climbing frames, which supports their physical development.

While children enjoy attending and form positive relationships with staff, the Ofsted report indicates inconsistencies in teaching, routines, and leadership oversight, meaning that not all children consistently benefit from high-quality provision. The nursery offers daily opportunities for fresh air and exercise, and a dedicated cook provides nutritious meals and snacks to promote healthy habits.

The nursery is registered for 59 children and has a "Requires Improvement" overall rating from its latest inspection in November 2025. Leaders are actively working to address areas for improvement to ensure all children receive consistent, high-quality learning experiences.

Our ethos

Barnabas House Private Nursery focuses on developing children's independence, confidence, and love for learning through a curriculum tailored to individual interests and needs. They emphasise practical, real-world experiences and community engagement, aiming to provide a calm, stimulating, and nurturing atmosphere that prepares children for school.

What it's like

Children enjoy attending the setting and feel valued, safe and cared for. Their learning and development are supported in parts, but inconsistencies in teaching, routines, and leadership oversight mean that not all children consistently benefit from high-quality provision. Although children form positive relationships with staff and are well supported with special educational needs and/or disabilities, inconsistent practices limit their overall learning experiences and progress.

## Ofsted rating for Barnabas House Private Nursery

Last inspected 28 November 2025 · Donna Birch

Safeguarding effective 

Actions the provider must take

-   leaders should prioritise training and support for staff to ensure consistent delivery of the intended curriculum and improve the implementation of all the setting's policies by 30/01/2026 
-   leaders should ensure consistent application of age-appropriate expectations for behaviour to support children's understanding and emotional resilience by 30/01/2026 

What it's like to attend

Children enjoy attending the setting and feel valued, safe and cared for. Their learning and development are supported in parts, but inconsistencies in teaching, routines, and leadership oversight mean that not all children consistently benefit from high-quality provision. Although children form positive relationships with staff and are well supported with special educational needs and/or disabilities, inconsistent practices limit their overall learning experiences and progress.

Inspector highlights

-   Leaders and staff understand children's individual needs and provide support that helps them access learning and make progress. 
-   Children show curiosity and engagement during sensory experiences with sand and water or when using bikes and climbing equipment outdoors. 
-   Staff build warm and trusting relationships with children and encourage self-help skills. 
-   Children have daily opportunities for fresh air and exercise. 
-   Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities or children who face additional barriers to their learning are well supported. 
-   The safeguarding standards are met, with an open culture where concerns are actively identified, acted upon, and managed, making children feel safer. 
-   Staff support children to follow good hygiene routines, including washing their hands and brushing their teeth. 
-   The dedicated cook ensures that children have nutritious meals and snacks, promoting healthy eating habits. 
-   Children form positive relationships with staff, who know them well and respond to their care needs with warmth and reassurance. 

Areas to develop

-   1 Children's achievement across the setting is variable due to inconsistencies in teaching and daily routines, limiting their learning across the curriculum and preparation for the next stage of education. 
-   2 Opportunities to extend learning across various curriculum areas are not consistently planned or followed through, restricting children's ability to develop secure mathematical understanding and apply problem-solving skills. 
-   3 Children's independence and confidence are limited by overly rigid routines, which miss opportunities for practicing new skills, and learning is not consistently extended. 
-   4 Leaders do not always ensure environments support children's independent choices and skill-building, weakening the impact of behavior and attitudes due to inconsistent routines and expectations. 
-   5 Staff responses to behavior vary, missing opportunities to teach children about the impact of their actions on others. 
-   6 Staff provide fewer opportunities for children to understand the importance of joining in and contributing to shared routines, affecting their confident participation and positive attitudes toward learning. 
-   7 Inconsistencies in practice mean leaders cannot guarantee children always receive the necessary support to stay safe, with occasional lapses in supervision and inconsistent implementation of outdoor risk assessments. 
-   8 The quality of teaching is inconsistent, with some routines and group activities not fully engaging children or building on their next steps. 
-   9 Children's learning is occasionally narrowed by staff focusing on themes rather than individualized activities, leading to disengagement. 
-   10 Weaknesses in the quality and consistency of coaching and monitoring reduce the impact of leaders' actions, limiting staff guidance for effective curriculum implementation. 
-   11 Staffing pressures and leaders covering in rooms limit the impact of wider coaching, supervision, and monitoring, affecting children's learning, progress, and enjoyment. 
-   12 Staff do not always receive precise feedback or targeted professional development opportunities to improve their practice. 
-   13 Consistent support for all children attending the setting is not yet achieved.

Inclusion & environment

## How they support every child

SEND provision

Leaders and staff understand children's individual needs and provide targeted support for those with special educational needs and/or disabilities through strategies like small-group activities and personalised guidance. They work closely with families and external professionals to ensure interventions are reviewed and funding is used effectively to provide resources and enrichment opportunities.

Outdoor space

Children show curiosity and engagement outdoors when using bikes and climbing equipment, supporting their physical skills and creative exploration. They have daily opportunities for fresh air and exercise, though inconsistent staff oversight can impact their wellbeing and learning.

My daughter went here in 2015/6. She picked up a awful squawk that she picked up from the practice manager Tam. My daughter is now 11 years old and still has that awful squawk. We have tried everything for her to drop the squawk with no success. I think many people who have had contact with the manager will know exactly what Squawk i mean.
