Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection
Parents and grandparents describe staff as caring towards their children/grandchildren.
Inclusion & environment
Staff plan a range of stimulating and purposeful adult-led learning experiences. This helps to ensure all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make good progress from their starting points. Where concerns are raised about a child's development, staff seek support from their special educational needs coordinator (SENCO). The SENCO is very knowledgeable. She works well in partnership with parents, other professionals and staff to help ensure that children with SEND receive the timely support they require.
Older children practise a range of movements, as they climb, balance and jump off the obstacle course.
