What parents say

Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection

Some parents state that they feel confident to make suggestions and know that they are listened to.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff monitor children's development closely and identify priorities for their learning, which has helped them identify children who would benefit from more support to develop their language skills. Staff support this generally well, for example, by modelling new words during play.

Outdoor space

Children make marks using sticks in the garden and various pens indoors, showing enthusiasm for writing words and drawing pictures. Children get plenty of fresh air and exercise during active play outdoors, and help staff to identify risks and learn to manage their own safety.
