Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection
parents say they welcome the advice and resources given to help them to support their child at home, such as activity ideas
Inclusion & environment
Key persons quickly identify children with specific needs and involve parents fully in the plans for these children. The special educational needs and/or disabilities coordinator and staff have developed strong relationships and partnerships with all professionals working with children and their families. Staff use additional funding well to support children to make good progress.
Staff help children to learn about the world around them, such as changes in the seasons. For instance, they gather snow and ice from the garden for children to investigate and discuss in group activities. Managers have a clear plan in place to develop and improve further, such as continuing to improve the outdoor area to provide a greater range of resources and activities for children to develop in all areas of learning.
❌ Do not send your child here! ❌ A member of staff was caught screaming & grabbing a child (CCTV evidence) and she was allowed to return to the setting after the investigation, absolutely disgusting
