Ofsted rated it Good at its last inspection, on 10 June 2022: good overall and good for the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. Its previous inspection, in December 2016, was also good. It is registered with Ofsted as Bridges Nursery and Out Of School Club (URN 502848), where the full reports are published.

In August 2025 Ofsted published a compliance outcome for the nursery. In July 2025 the nursery notified Ofsted of a matter about the safety of its premises; after a regulatory phone call on 8 August 2025, Ofsted found some requirements had not been met and that the nursery had already acted to put this right, including road-safety training for staff and children and a review of its risk assessments. The nursery remains registered. Source: Ofsted, compliance action taken, 8 August 2025.
