Inclusion & environment
The inspector observed the quality of education during a variety of activities, both indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.
This nursery is far the best in every way. The staff members are always smiling and lovely and my daughters key worker Emma is the best The relationship and bond she has created with my daughter is so amazing to see and makes me feel so much at ease leaving her to go to work. She is highly cared for and eats everything they have to offer. Her progression since joing has been phenomenal, she knows all her colours, counts to ten, talks so well and sings many songs before she's 2. By far the best nursery and I couldn't rate then highly enough, I would give 100 stars if I could.
