Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection
Parents appreciate the support and advice staff offer them and feel that staff know their children well.
management has kept them well informed of staffing changes, so they are able to prepare their children.
Inclusion & environment
The special educational needs coordinator works well in partnership with parents and outside professionals to ensure that those children who need additional support receive it. This means that all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, make good progress in their learning.
Children move freely to and from the garden throughout the day. They use the outdoor space to create a football pitch, use ride-on toys, kick a ball, jump in puddles, and practise balancing skills using tyres as stepping stones.
Absolutely love Banana Moon! Our son attends this nursery and he has the best time every single day! Always comes home talking about his day, the other children and the staff. We as a family have been welcomed into the nursery as if we are an extended part of their own family! The staff are so kind and caring and really take into account our son’s interests and developmental needs. They provide nutritional meals and high standards of care and we couldn’t be happier to have found this nursery.
