The provision received a "Good" rating in its latest Ofsted inspection on 13 October 2022. Children are noted to be excited to come to nursery, forming strong attachments with the staff, which helps them feel settled and secure.

The setting fosters inquisitive and imaginative play, as observed when children collaboratively created a "car" and then a "motorbike" from planks, crates, and tyres, proudly demonstrating their balancing skills. The management team effectively uses assessments to identify learning gaps and promptly provides support, including appropriate use of additional funding to meet individual needs.

This dedicated approach extends to celebrating diverse cultures and communities through local outings, such as visits to a care home where children have developed strong bonds with residents. Staff are skilled at helping children understand and manage their emotions, promoting empathy and good hygiene practices.

Parents consistently speak highly of the nursery and its staff, highlighting the supportive environment for both children and their families.
