Adorable Childcare Nursery

An all-round Expected standard report card, daily garden time and a practical home-to-nursery settling-in plan define this Dagenham provider. In June 2026, Ofsted gave Achievement, Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines, Children's welfare and wellbeing, Curriculum and teaching, Inclusion, and Leadership and governance the Expected standard. Safeguarding standards were met.

The nursery is at Teresa Greene Community Centre on Leys Avenue and has capacity for 52 children aged four months to five years. Its current published offer is full-day care from Monday to Friday, 7.30am to 6pm, alongside funded entitlement advertising for eligible children from nine months to four years.

Learning and Named Experiences

The Early Years Foundation Stage shapes the day here. It is the framework that sets what children learn and how their development is supported from birth to five; this nursery applies it across all seven areas of learning and development. The published programme gives communication a practical route through storytelling, songs and conversation, while phonics, storytime and mark-making carry literacy. Counting games, shape recognition and problem-solving activities provide the mathematics strand.

Physical development has an equally visible place. Outdoor play, yoga and fine-motor activity sit alongside a schedule that includes Free Flow, garden time and a focus activity. Rolling Snack Time is a planned snack period within that routine, while Circle Time is its scheduled group activity. Those repeatable points give a parent a clearer sense of the day than a broad claim about play alone.

The June 2026 inspection gives the daily practice substance. Children discussed a caterpillar's life cycle, sang and copied actions during song time, poured their own drinks and used tweezers at snack time. Babies threw balls in the ball pit and dug or scooped in sand; older children balanced on bucket stilts, jumped into hoops and danced. Children were also able to choose activities and take part in creative work, with regular garden access and fresh air.

Environment

The provider describes dedicated spaces for art, music and imaginative play, alongside areas intended for social interaction. That is a useful match for the inspection account of children playing collaboratively, taking turns and joining group sessions.

Relationships and Communication

Settling is set up as a gradual process: sessions begin short, parents remain initially, then reduce their presence as the child becomes comfortable. Daily updates, progress reports and regular meetings form the published communication plan. This gives families a defined route from first sessions to everyday feedback.

In June 2026, warm and respectful staff language, consistent routines and visual timetables supported children to understand what came next. Children who spoke English as an additional language and children with special educational needs and/or disabilities used the visual timetable, while familiar adults offered comfort when children were sleepy or needed reassurance. The report also recorded regular observations and assessments, with activities adapted so children with additional needs could take part alongside their peers.

Wellbeing and Food

Three meals and two snacks are described for a typical day, using fresh seasonal ingredients; the nursery also says a chef prepares fresh organic meals on site. The food approach includes work with parents around dietary requirements, cultural preferences and allergies. Families managing an allergy should confirm current practice directly before starting.

The inspection found that eating and sleeping children were fully supervised, and that staff adjusted routines to individual needs. It also found that the pudding menu did not consistently follow nutritional guidelines. That is a dated improvement point worth raising alongside the provider's current meal description.

Sessions and Attendance

Full-day attendance is sold Monday to Friday from 7.30am to 6pm. The provider's daily schedule moves through free-flow activity, garden time, snack, a focus activity, Circle Time, lunch and afternoon play; it also says staff adapt activities to children's needs, developmental stages and interests.

The address is Teresa Greene Community Centre, 25 Leys Avenue, Dagenham RM10 9YP. Current nursery-specific prices are supplied in the provider's written quotation. The fees page separates baby and toddler/preschool categories.

Funding and Paid Extras

The nursery advertises 15 and 30 funded hours for eligible children aged nine months, two, three and four years. Families should settle their preferred pattern in the written quotation.

Meals are provided as part of the described daily food offer. The fees page separates baby and toddler/preschool categories.

• Food and fees. Three meals and two snacks are part of the published routine, while the fee terms separate baby and toddler/preschool categories. Take the written quotation when comparing funded and privately paid hours.
• Attendance pattern. The stated core offer is a Monday-to-Friday full day, 7.30am to 6pm. Check that the days and funded-hours delivery match the pattern your family needs.
• Curriculum follow-through. The June 2026 report card rated curriculum and teaching at the Expected standard, but found that practitioners did not always identify chances to extend children's thinking. Discuss how current planning turns observations into the next learning step.

Adorable Childcare Nursery Ltd. is a practical choice for families seeking a full Monday-to-Friday day, with garden time, group routines and an EYFS programme that makes room for stories, songs, yoga, phonics and mark-making. The June 2026 report card gives it an Expected standard across each published area and confirms that safeguarding standards were met.

It will suit parents who need a 7.30am to 6pm full day as well as families using funded hours for children from nine months onwards. The gradual settling process, daily updates and individual routine adjustments will matter most to families who want close communication as their child starts. The key decision points are the current treatment of food and consumables in the quotation, and how the teaching team is developing children's ideas beyond an initial activity.
