The day nursery accepts government funding for three and four-year-old children. At its inspection in November 2021, Ofsted rated the overall effectiveness of the day nursery as Good. The inspector found that children are safe, happy and form trusting relationships with staff. They are kind to their friends and have opportunities to learn about respect for others. The report highlighted strong practice in the mathematics curriculum, and noted that children enjoy books and story sessions. Staff model language clearly to support speaking skills. The inspection noted that while leaders aim for all children to achieve their best, some inconsistencies in the quality of education meant that some children were not challenged sufficiently. What it's like Children are safe and enjoy their time at the nursery, forming trusting relationships with staff. While toddlers and pre-school children have developed strong social skills, babies have fewer opportunities due to minor gaps in curriculum planning. Leaders aim for all children to achieve their best, but inconsistencies in education quality mean some, like the most able, are not challenged sufficiently, unlike children with SEND and disadvantaged children who make optimum progress. Strong maths curriculum Enjoy books and story-time Good SEND provision Staff professional development Children are kind and considerate ## Pricing & funding Funding accepted 15 hours — universal (3–4 yrs) 30 hours — working parents (3–4 yrs) ## Key facts Opening hours Monday to Friday, all year round.

I'd recommend the nursery and afterschool/holiday care to anybody. Whilst being extremely professional, it also offers a warm and safe place for children to thrive- all the children have an excellent rapport with staff and the staff do with the parents. The children also get to experience well supervised trips out into the community such as swimming, the park and bowling for the older ones. My baby will be due to start here when I return to work. It's a setting that I feel 100% confident to leave my baby in and be well looked after.
