Rated "Outstanding" by Ofsted in every inspection since its opening in 2008, the nursery is staffed by a team of dedicated educators committed to nurturing young minds.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Leaders ensure that additional funding some children receive is used appropriately to support what they need to learn next. For example, new outdoor equipment was introduced when staff noticed that some children were less confident in aspects of their physical development due to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic lockdown.

Outdoor space

Children thoroughly enjoy playing outside. New outdoor equipment was introduced to support children's physical development, and children have made good progress in climbing, balancing, communication, language, and turn-taking.
