About this day nursery

45pm. The pre-school, which received a 'Good' rating from Ofsted on 11th July 2024, provides a warm and secure environment where children are enthusiastically greeted by staff, fostering emotional security.

The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to help children build skills and knowledge progressively, with staff adept at using targeted interventions to ensure every child achieves their full potential. Staff are committed to ongoing professional development, particularly in Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), allowing them to promptly identify and support children's individual needs.

Any additional funding for SEND is carefully allocated to maximise its positive impact. The pre-school deeply respects each child's individuality, incorporating their backgrounds, beliefs, and home languages into activities, and planning around cultural events celebrated by the children.

The quality of education is maintained both indoors and outdoors, with staff continually assessing its impact on learning. Children are encouraged to develop their communication and language skills through conversation and group activities, which also support listening, attention, and turn-taking.

Safety awareness is integrated into discussions, with staff nurturing children's understanding of emergency procedures.
