About this day nursery

The setting received a 'Good' rating in its latest Ofsted inspection on 22 November 2021. Children arrive happy and confidently separate from their parents, eager to explore the toys and resources.

" The supervisors work closely with parents to support children with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND), including making referrals to other agencies for speech development. Outdoors, children are encouraged to be physically active, making up games of 'tag' and riding tricycles, fostering risk management.

Staff actively promote positive behaviour and help children understand expectations, for example, by reminding them about 'good looking' during story time and using reward charts for toileting efforts. The pre-school uses additional funding to address learning gaps, such as introducing a toy zoo to enhance children's understanding of the world.

Staff also gather information about children's home-life experiences to enrich their learning opportunities, including musical activities.

What it's like

Children arrive happy and confidently separate from parents, eager to explore toys and resources. They demonstrate good imaginative skills and safe tool usage, beginning to develop independence by cutting carrots in the role-play area. Children behave well, working together to make "carrot soup" and concentrating with staff support while using a potato peeler.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The supervisors work closely with parents to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. They make referrals to other agencies to help support children's individual needs, for example to help develop their speaking skills.

Outdoor space

Outdoors, children are physically active. They take and manage risks when they make up their own games of 'tag'. Some children run around, while others ride on tricycles to try and catch each other. The inspector observed the quality of education during activities, indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.
