Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection
Parents comment on how supportive and flexible staff are.
They feel fully informed of their child's progress and enjoy using the online learning journal.
Inclusion & environment
Staff work closely with outside agencies to ensure children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, get the extra support they need to make continued progress.
Children spend long periods of time outdoors where they benefit from fresh air and enhance their physical skills, crawling through a tunnel and balancing on beams, for example. Sometimes, staff do not plan experiences to consistently promote learning for younger children when playing outdoors.
Great Staff and lovely location with a nice garden for the children
