The nursery operates year-round, opening Monday to Friday from 7:30 to 18:00. While the overall effectiveness is rated as Inadequate, the setting does meet safeguarding standards. Leaders have recently improved how they support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), ensuring staff are equipped to assess development, plan next steps, and monitor progress. The nursery uses strategies such as Makaton and visual aids to help children achieve, with funding specifically used to promote individual children's development. Oz Tots follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, enhanced by a concept-led approach that allows staff to integrate various concepts based on children's interests. Children benefit from regular access to a forest school area, which supports outdoor learning and engagement, and they make good progress from their starting points. The nursery has a total capacity of 65 children. Our ethos Oz Tots Nursery & Forest School's pedagogy is rooted in the EYFS framework and its Forest School programme. This approach encourages children's exploration, learning, and growth through nature connection, calculated risk-taking, and the development of social and personal skills. The nursery aims to foster curiosity and fun, supporting children's holistic development and preparing them for school. What it's like Children enjoy their time at the setting and settle in quickly, forming positive relationships with their key person. Their physical development is well supported through access to an indoor soft-play area and a forest school. Staff also prioritise children's communication development and social skills.
