Inspector highlights

  • Staff are exceptionally skilled at developing children's communication and language, modifying their language for each individual child and immersing them in opportunities to extend their vocabulary.
  • Staff guide children's behaviour with clear instructions, resulting in respectful and effective communication among children and adults, and an understanding of emotions.
  • Children develop independence by learning to dress themselves, wash their hands, use child-appropriate cutlery, fetch their own resources, and persevere with activities.
  • Two highly skilled managers provide immediate feedback and model outstanding practice, leading to rapid progress in children's learning due to effective teaching.
  • Meticulous assessments identify early concerns about a child's development, and nursery leaders collaborate with professionals to organise swift early interventions and training, ensuring children catch up with their peers.

Just spoke to the manager over the phone, my child does not even attend the nursery yet, but I am considering this nursery amongst other local ones. Had to leave a 5 star review because the manager I spoke to was so professional and caring, trying her best to provide hours that fit around your schedule and your child’s needs, I spoke to many nurseries and none have come close to this level of professionalism and care.

Amazing Ofsted reports but more amazing to attention to detail. You really feel as if they care about your children. They keep you informed and updated with all info and events and they keep a detailed report of your child's day. I'd reccomend them. They are friendly and very welcoming.
