Housed in the historic Old School House in Dentons Green, the nursery offers a secure, stimulating, and joyful space for children aged 0-5 to develop and flourish. The nursery prides itself on being more than just a childcare provider; it is a place where every child is recognised, valued, and celebrated. Their mission is to deliver a warm, inclusive, and excellent early years experience that cherishes each child's unique qualities and establishes a foundation for a happy, self-assured future.

Inspector highlights - The leaders of the nursery are experienced, knowledgeable and passionate, leading a dedicated staff team to ensure children have the best possible start. - Staff instil a love of books and reading, encouraging children to turn pages and name items, and providing activities for physical development needed for writing. - Support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is well embedded, with the SENCo working closely with staff, parents, and other professionals to implement targeted support. - The curriculum prioritises children's communication development, immersing them in songs, stories, and rhymes, and providing activities to extend vocabulary and promote thinking skills. - Leaders are dedicated to the nursery, ensuring staff feel happy and supported through regular training to support their professional development and give their best to children and families. Areas to develop - 1 focus the curriculum for outdoors more sharply on what children need to learn next, particularly for those children who prefer to learn outdoors - 2 review the organisation of routines and activities so that children are consistently engaged to further support their next steps in learning Inspection #10312321 · Source: Ofsted [View full Ofsted report](https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50245875) Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is well embedded. The special educational needs and disability coordinator works closely with staff, parents and other professionals. She uses her knowledge and skills to swiftly implement targeted support for children. Children with SEND are consistently supported and make good progress. Outdoor space When outdoors, the curriculum is less effective. Some activities lack a clear focus, which means that children lose interest quickly. This reduces children's engagement levels and learning experiences, particularly those children who prefer to learn outdoors. The provider should focus the curriculum for outdoors more sharply on what children need to learn next. ## Parent Reviews of Heirs and Graces PDN 5.0 (3) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocLMm97JCzmVpykFtiEdc88Z6dVQD7jXF3ApFzgcfRvDPqcrYwY=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo-ba2) K Parvizifard 6 months ago My daughter absolutely loves Heirs & Graces Nursery.
