Inspector highlights
Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection
"Parents say that their children are extremely well prepared for the move to school."
Inclusion & environment
Staff are very well prepared to meet the needs of all children, including those from disadvantaged backgrounds and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities. They utilise highly effective observations and assessments to rapidly get to know children and understand their needs, allowing them to identify very quickly and accurately where children may need extra support.
Children benefit from plenty of exercise in the nursery garden. They run, climb and steer two wheeled bikes with considerable skill, and show tremendous curiosity as they use magnifying glasses to hunt for bugs.
