Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection
Parents say they appreciate the increase in information-sharing, which has significantly improved over the last year.
Inclusion & environment
Children with emerging special educational needs and/or disabilities receive swift support from the special educational needs coordinator and staff. They work in close partnership with parents and professionals to implement strategies and support to meet children's individual needs and enable them to make the best possible progress.
Children enjoy being outside, and staff encourage them to dress appropriately before going out to play. Children enjoy going in the garden; however, the learning environment outside is less engaging for children to build on their skills.
Ladybird is the second nursery we tried and I couldn't be happier with the team. I can keep track of my girl's day whilst in care. She hasn't been ill unlike the other nursery where they didn't pay attention to the hygene.Their diet is also healthy. They engage children very well with various development games and my girl became more confident.I highly recommend Ladybird to every parents who are looking for a safe place where children well looked after.
