What parents say

Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection

one parent commented, "I am so happy with the progress my child has made, since starting here. They are so much more confident and settled."

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff recognise children's individual learning styles and needs, adapting the curriculum to meet these effectively.

Outdoor space

Toddlers independently master large, physical play equipment, like climbing frames, outdoors. Older children gather fallen conkers from the nursery grounds and use them to 'cook' delicious meals in the outdoor mud kitchen. Children who are feeling frustrated take themselves to a quiet space outdoors and read for a while before returning happily to play. Children play outside regularly, building new large-muscle skills and enjoying fresh air.

EAL / language support

Children who speak English as an additional language make swift progress, partly as a result of the targeted support provided by staff.
