Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
Outdoor space
Older children use their understanding of numbers and mathematical language when playing outside. For example, they count the steps and rocks and explore slow and fast when they pour water down the guttering. The inspector observed the quality of education being provided, indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact that this had on children's learning.

My 3yrs old daughter has been at Edgemoor for 2years now and my 10month old son starts this week. She absolutely loves edge moor as do i, the staff are very welcoming and really informative, i never worry leaving my daughter as she always has such a lovely time there. There is a real sense of community spirt there and they are always organising events for all the families. Couldn't recommend it higher

Awful, when I used to go here as a little kid, the staff didn’t understand me at all. I used to enjoy it until a little girl came and dragged me around. I didn’t do anything because I was too shy and the adults didn’t care. They kept forcing me to make friends to make me “School Ready”. I got really uncomfortable with all this so I left.
