What parents say

Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection

Parents comment on how much more independent their children have become since the drop-off and collection arrangements have changed and parents no longer enter the nursery.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities well. Any gaps in children's learning are quickly identified and discussed with parents. Staff are proactive in getting professionals on board to get children the help and support they need. This targeted approach helps children to make the best possible progress.

Outdoor space

Children excitedly rush around the outdoor area, thrilled to find the pumpkins. Older children learn that they can carry the smaller pumpkins easily, but that they need two hands to pick up the very largest pumpkins.

EAL / language support

Staff support children who speak English as an additional language very well. They engage with parents to learn words in children's home languages. Staff link words to resources and movements, and give children extra time to process their thinking before responding. This means that children's ability to understand and speak English develops quickly.
