Areas to develop
Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection
"Parents express that staff know their children well, and they say that the information they share is accurate and in line with what they see at home."
"They express their gratitude for the care and individual support that their children receive."
Inclusion & environment
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported well. The special educational needs coordinator (SENCo) works closely with staff and parents to put tailored plans in place with specific goals for children to achieve. Staff adapt the environment and activities to support the children's needs and abilities, working collaboratively with parents and other professionals to help children make progress.
Staff share children's joy as they play outside in the fresh, crisp air, encouraging them to run around, play football and other games. They set challenges, such as walking on stilts and jumping on stepping stones, to develop good physical development skills and perseverance.
Most amazing nursery and fabulous staff and management. My grandson has been there since he was 6 months and has really thrived in this environment. The staff work closely with the parents at every stage of their development and helping with any challenges that arise. A wonderful learning experience- close to nature and the woods - seeing baby chicks hatch. Thank you so much, xx
Read on GoogleMoving into the area so I called to ask about availability. They laughed at me when I said I needed my kid to start in a few months time, and told me they had no availability for 2 years. Don’t know how anyone is supposed to move towns in this country, and I sure as hell don’t expect to be laughed at for needing to.
