Rated as good by Ofsted in its most recent inspection on 22 September 2023, the nursery operates all year round, closing only for two weeks at Christmas and on bank holidays, with sessions running from 8am to 6pm. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to consider children's existing knowledge, interests, and personal experiences, incorporating parents, partner agencies, and the local community to enrich learning. Children at Little Corkers Day Nursery benefit from exciting early education opportunities that help them learn about the world around them, including practical activities like supermarket visits and making pumpkin soup. The nursery is highly commended for its inclusive approach, offering very good support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those who speak English as an additional language (EAL). Staff set individualised simple goals to help embed and develop children's skills. Outdoor learning is a significant feature, with a very large outdoor space where children can engage in physical development activities such as riding bicycles, playing ball games, and using large play equipment like slides and climbing frames.
