Inspection #10317515 · Source: Ofsted [View full Ofsted report](https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50258597) ## What parents say Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection > "Parents are impressed with how quickly their children settle in this nurturing setting." > "They are pleased with how confident they become as they spend time with the caring staff." > "Parents state that staff are extremely approachable." > "They enjoy the detailed feedback they receive daily about the learning opportunities children have been involved in." Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Staff spoke to the inspector about how they support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Outdoor space Staff create opportunities for children to strengthen the small muscles in their hands as they use pens and stampers. However, they do not always plan the most ambitious or interesting mark-making activities on a large scale. This limits opportunities for children to develop their gross motor skills.
