Inspector highlights
Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection
Parents speak very positively about the service provided and the high standard of care and education provided.
Parents share how the daily communication with staff ensures there are no surprises at the parents evening consultations.
Inclusion & environment
Leaders and staff meticulously monitor the progress that children make so they can swiftly identify when they need further support. They work closely with parents and outside agencies to implement precisely targeted interventions so each child can make the best possible progress. Staff are highly skilled in recognising and supporting children who need additional support to meet their language development milestones. The special educational needs coordinator spoke to the inspector about how they support children with SEND.
The onsite school provides pre-school children with an extended curriculum to expand on the already excellent repertoire of learning experiences within the nursery. This includes participating in physical development activities. The inspector observed the quality of education being provided, indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact that this was having on children's learning.
