Inspector highlights
Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection
They speak of nurturing staff who communicate very well and support the whole family.
They are delighted that the children have opportunities for activities such as exploring what happens to food when it decays.
They appreciate that children learn about recycling and reducing waste.
Inclusion & environment
Children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), progress very well. The special educational needs coordinator spoke to the inspector about how they support children with SEND.
Leaders and staff provide a broad and ambitious curriculum for both the inside and outside learning environments. Children have many opportunities outside to develop their imaginations and ideas, for example, creating a pathway with large blocks and planks across a sea of 'lava' in their 'dinosaur land' and assisting members of staff across the 'danger' safely.
