What parents say

Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection

parents say that staff offer them advice and ideas for activities that help them to continue children's learning at home.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Although managers unfailingly share concerns about children's progress with parents, there are occasions when they do not take every possible step to obtain specialist advice and support. This hinders the really precise teaching that promotes children's best progress.

Outdoor space

A manager attended training about enhancing outdoor learning. Staff now teach children to look really carefully at different plants and to describe what is the same and different about them. By the time children reach pre-school age, they are able to dress themselves for outdoor play.

Trusting a nursery with your children is a huge worry for most parents, myself included. I knew from the moment I first had a tour of this nursery that I wanted my son to attend. The staff take care of the children as if they are family and I can’t speak highly enough of the staff, the learning and the enrichment at this nursery. I would keep my son here forever if I could. It is wonderful and you can tell that the children are at the forefront of everything they do. I would recommend this nursery to anyone!
