What parents say

Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection

Parents speak highly of the staff team.

They praise staff for their effective communication.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff have introduced sign language and visual aids to help children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) to communicate their wants and needs. Support for children with SEND is well embedded; staff monitor children's development closely and take swift action when gaps are identified, working closely with parents and other professionals to plan and provide targeted support. Additional funding is used to meet the needs of individual children, helping to close gaps in learning.

Outdoor space

Sometimes, staff do not organise themselves effectively, particularly when routines and transitions change, such as playing from indoors to outdoors. This means that, occasionally, children become less engaged in their learning.

Staff have been absolutely wonderful and very helpful. My son is nonverbal and they've been so understanding and supportive, he always left nursery with a big smile and loved giving his teachers hugs. Being there has helped his development a great deal and helped him find news way to communicate.

I can confirm this nursery is clean, built for intended purpose (not just a house converted into a nursery), the staff are professional, easy to speak to and care for our child. Special thanks to Yasmin for all of her support. We shopped around for nurseries in the area and I without a doubt this is the BEST nursery in the area.

My daughter loves it here, each morning she can't wait to get out of the house and get there. The staff are very friendly and are great with the children. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone that is looking for childcare.
