The setting is open all year, from 7.30am to 6pm on weekdays, but closes on public holidays, between Christmas and New Year, and for three staff training days. Fees include all meals, which are prepared by an onsite chef, as well as nappies, wipes, sun cream, and formula.

There is a focus on teaching early literacy skills, and support is in place for children with SEND. Children have access to a spacious garden for physical play, including climbing and balancing. Parents told the inspector they appreciate the regular updates and suggestions for supporting learning at home.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff adopt a tailored approach to meet children's individual next steps in learning. Leaders and staff identify and monitor persistent gaps in children's learning and address these effectively. For instance, well-planned activities are used to improve hand muscle control for boys who demonstrate a reluctance to write.

Outdoor space

Children are physically active and enjoy ample opportunities to play in the spacious, well-resourced garden. They climb, balance and run with increased concentration as they take their time to perfect these skills.
