What parents say
Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection
Parents say their children have come on 'leaps and bounds' since attending, especially in their communication and language, and confidence.
Parents particularly value the homely and family feel of the nursery and the strong community ties.
Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
Outdoor space
Children have daily opportunities to play and explore in the fresh air. They develop their physical skills as they ride on trikes and use their imagination in the mud kitchen. Learning opportunities, both inside and outside, are equally engaging, which further supports those children who prefer to learn outdoors.
