We are incredibly proud that Young England Kindergarten, Bayswater, was judged ‘Strong’ in every area in our Ofsted inspection on 29 June 2026. 

Ofsted recognised the strength of our provision across achievement; behaviour, attitudes and routines; children’s welfare and wellbeing; curriculum and teaching; inclusion; and leadership and governance. Inspectors highlighted our “calm, purposeful” and “warm and highly-inclusive” environment, where children feel emotionally secure, happy and valued. They praised the consistently high quality of interactions between staff and children, our ambitious curriculum and the strong, nurturing relationships that give children a genuine sense of belonging.

To be recognised as ‘Strong’ across every area is a wonderful reflection of the dedication of our whole Bayswater team, and we are immensely proud of the nurturing, ambitious and joyful environment they create for our children every day.
