The setting provides targeted support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), working closely with speech and language teams and other professionals to ensure individual needs are met and children succeed alongside their peers. This commitment extends to children who speak English as an additional language (EAL), who benefit from visual aids, staff narration of play, singing, and storytelling to enhance their communication and language skills. While safeguarding standards are met, the nursery is in the process of improving its curriculum due to inconsistent implementation, with leaders actively addressing these weaknesses. Children enjoy a range of activities, both indoors and outdoors, where they can climb, balance, run, and even grow their own produce. Staff track children's progress effectively, fostering a confident and happy environment where children are encouraged to develop independence and pre-reading skills. The nursery operates year-round, from 08:30 to 17:30, Monday to Friday, upholding the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum. What it's like Leaders do not fulfil the requirement to notify Ofsted about changes to the nominated individual and the directors, meaning suitability checks have not been completed. Despite this, current leaders are committed to addressing these weaknesses and are developing a new early years curriculum due to inconsistent implementation of the current one. Children are confident and enjoy activities, with staff effectively tracking their progress.
