Inspector highlights
Areas to develop
Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection
Parents speak highly about the strong emotional bonds their children have with the kind and caring staff.
Parents say staff get to know their children quickly and, in doing so, they have assisted them in making referrals to other professionals to access early intervention services.
Inclusion & environment
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported well and show that they have strong attachments with their key person. Any specific needs are identified early and acted on quickly. Together, staff plan the best ways to meet the children's needs.
Staff create challenging obstacle courses outside where children can climb, balance and negotiate space. This helps develop their small and large muscle strength.
