Inspection #10213109 · Source: Ofsted [View full Ofsted report](https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50183332) ## What parents say Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection > Parents feel more connected to their children's learning experiences now. > Parents praise the manager and staff. They feel recent changes have increased the quality of provision. They appreciate the manager and her "open communication". Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision The key-person system is very secure. Key persons know their children impressively well. They skilfully adapt the curriculum to support children's individual needs and complement their personal interests. As a result, children with delays in their development quickly begin to catch up to their peers. Outdoor space Pre-school children work together to achieve goals. They create an obstacle course outside. When they have run out of bricks they quickly begin to brainstorm together. They discuss ideas as a team to decide what other resources can be used to finish their project. Staff encourage children to think about what safety elements they might need. ## Parent Reviews of Little Gems Nursery 5.0 (4) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjWeM4jVi7oysfsYaODMrBYFng1RNJGGywfrOG1hRbfvG5xK0mqEgQ=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) En Kay 5 years ago My 2 kids been in the nursery.
