Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection

Parents comment positively about their children's experiences in the nursery, particularly about the progress they have made since they have started.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

A well-sequenced curriculum is in place. Staff get to know children well, what they can do and what they need to learn next. This includes children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. For example, targeted intervention plans are in place to support any additional needs. Regular review meetings take place, which include parents and other professionals. This results in all children making the best possible progress.

Outdoor space

Children have lots of opportunities to practise their physical skills in the outdoors. They run around, climb and navigate themselves safely. Children screech with delight as they splash and jump in muddy puddles. They become mesmerised as they place powdered paint on the floor and watch the colours change and mix in the rain.
