Inspection #10380308 · Source: Ofsted [View full Ofsted report](https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50279663) ## What parents say Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection > Parents describe staff as patient, friendly and kind. > They say the nursery is a happy space for their little ones to grow, learn and explore. > Parents comment that they are well informed about their children's care and learning. > They appreciate the effective partnership working, to promote children's health and development. Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Staff carefully consider the needs of children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those children who speak English as an additional language. They use visual aids, such as objects and pictures, alongside verbal instructions, to help all children follow the nursery's routines. Children with SEND and those receiving additional funding are well supported at the nursery. Leaders and staff work in partnership with parents and external professionals, to identify where children need extra help. They use finding effectively and provide lots of tailored support, to help close the gaps in children's learning and development. Outdoor space Staff ensure that children play outdoors daily and provide some opportunities for vigorous exercise, such as jumping activities and outings to a local park. However, they do not consistently identify when children would benefit from more physical activity, such as when children struggle to sit down at group times or want to run indoors. This can hinder children who need to use their large muscles and practise these essential skills. ## Parent Reviews of Royal Gate Kids Nursery 3.7 (3) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjXDkxvUHRcFgqVwo8NLuH64FfzuZJj5iqk7ewhf7_0J7QOJxZiJGQ=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) gawgous b 4 months ago My son attended this nursery and loved it.
