Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection
Parents speak highly about staff and the nursery.
They appreciate the settling-in sessions that are tailored to individual family needs.
They also praise staff for the good progress their children are making.
Inclusion & environment
Children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make good progress in their learning from their individual starting points. Staff are attentive to the individual needs of children with SEND. They have strong support from the skilled special educational needs coordinator. Very close working with other professionals means timely referrals are made for early and ongoing support.
Daily access to a well-resourced, fun outdoor play area means children's learning continues to be promoted and they benefit from fresh air and exercise.
