About this day nursery

Tons of Fun Childcare, established in 2024, is a childcare setting located in Wallington, SM6 8LA, catering to children aged 0-4 years. Operating Monday to Friday from 07:30 to 18:30 all year round, the nursery prides itself on its welcoming environment where children thrive and make secure progress.

The curriculum follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), with a strong emphasis on individual learning journeys and continuous assessment to track development. The nursery has an overall 'Inadequate' Ofsted rating, following its latest inspection on December 11, 2025.

Tons of Fun Childcare supports children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) through close collaboration with parents and external agencies, implementing targeted plans and staff training. The outdoor learning environment has been enhanced with improved surfacing and additional space, increasing opportunities for physical well-being.

Leaders are dedicated to ongoing improvements, addressing previous inspection actions, and refining support for children with communication and language delays through methods like visual aids. While the nursery successfully creates a positive and safe environment, with safeguarding standards met, there are noted areas for improvement regarding group activities in the toddler room and opportunities for babies to develop curiosity and creativity.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Leaders and staff work closely together with parents and carers to identify where children require additional support to close barriers for children's learning. Training completed by staff helps them to assess where children need additional support so that targeted plans are implemented. Staff regularly engage with other agencies and professionals to identify any gaps in children's learning to ensure extra help and support are provided. Leaders and staff work closely together to assess children's starting points in development. However, some large-group activities in the toddler room do not fully support all children to remain engaged. Some children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, lose focus during the large-group session before lunch.

Outdoor space

Leaders recognise the importance of regular outdoor play, particularly for children who face barriers to learning. They have reviewed the organisation of outdoor provision to increase opportunities for all children to support their physical wellbeing. They have focused on improvements to the outdoor learning environment, for example, improved surfacing and additional space for children to use, which enables children to access outdoor play provision more frequently. This supports children's enjoyment of the outdoors and supports their physical wellbeing.

Our one year old loves attending Tons of Fun nursery and the team has made the transition back to work so much easier knowing she's in such good hands. They are a lovely team and take great care of her which is exactly what we were looking for! Highly recommend and happy to have a place.
