The nursery re-registered in 2015 and aims to create a safe and enjoyable environment for children, fostering trusting relationships with staff. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities benefit from a broad curriculum tailored to their individual learning needs, helping them to make optimal progress. The inspector noted strong practice in mathematics, with staff effectively helping children grasp early mathematical concepts, such as counting, recognising shapes, and comparing sizes. Children at Little Learners also thoroughly enjoy books and story-time, with staff modelling language clearly to develop speaking skills. The nursery encourages kindness and consideration among friends, and offers opportunities for children to learn about respect and awareness of others, including access to books that reflect diverse positive images. While the latest inspection on 23 November 2021 rated the overall effectiveness as "Requires Improvement," leaders and managers are actively making changes to enhance children's safety and support staff development, particularly for those caring for toddlers receiving early education funding. However, some inconsistencies in education quality have been identified, particularly for babies and some of the most able children, whose learning opportunities are not always sufficiently challenging or socially engaging due to minor gaps in curriculum planning and the structuring of routines. 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.
