Inspector highlights

  • The highly qualified manager is extremely passionate about the learning and care provided to children. Effective monitoring of staff practice ensures the quality of education is consistently good, and, at times, exceptional.
  • The ambitious curriculum supports a holistic approach to children's development. It is sequenced to build on what children already know and can do.
  • Staff know the children extremely well. They plan activities in line with the children's interests and are spontaneous in adapting activities to support children to access them.
  • Children develop a deep love and respect for literacy and books and are supported to manage their feelings by using books about emotions and feelings.
  • Partnership with parents is exemplary. Parents comment that staff are wonderful, and communication about their child's development is excellent.

Areas to develop

  • 2review the transitions and routines in the baby room so children are not waiting for prolonged periods of time.

What parents say

Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection

"communication about their child's development is excellent."

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is good. The nursery employs a qualified SEND coordinator. They support staff to quickly identify any gaps in learning and implement a package of support to ensure no child is left behind.

Outdoor space

All children enjoy fresh air outdoors. Older children enjoy balancing on scooters and tricycles and use large tyres as an assault course to jump in and out of and balance on.

My son started attending this nursery in early September. It was a difficult process because he was 16 months old, at peak separation anxiety, and not used to being in an environment with other children and without us. But he is already flourishing and really happy there. The staff are lovely, and treated both me and my son with compassion and understanding. They clearly love their job and form very nice bonds with the children. I love that they send us photos of our son every day, as well as details about his nap and meals. My son has learned a lot there and is starting to form friendships with other kids. Most importantly, he is very happy to go there every single morning and I can tell that he has a great time participating in activities that are both fun and educative. Overall, I'm very happy with our choice of nursery and can't recommend it enough! Many thanks to Lauren, Revana, and the rest of the team!

I can’t recommend it enough. The staff is supper attentive and capable. My child loves to stay and he is always happy to spend time with them. I can’t believe how happy I would be when I applied to the nursery before the child was born. 10 out of 10

Kimrun is an absolute asset to this nursery! She’s passionate, caring, and always goes above and beyond for the children. You can really see how much she loves what she does — her kindness and dedication make such a positive difference every day. The nursery is lucky to have her!

A really good nursery. Warm and friendly staff, really safe environment, great learning and socializing experience for children! My child has been here for about a year now and it’s been amazing. He has blossomed so much in terms of socializing, independence and knowledge. He loves going in everyday and when not in nursery, talks about it at home! Also love the variety of meals he is exposed to and there’s an app where you can see updates of your child, the accountability is top tier. Very much recommend.
