Inspector highlights
Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection
Parents praise the staff highly for their excellent care.
Parents are extremely pleased with how well staff know their children and they comment on the exceptional progress they make.
Inclusion & environment
All children develop an extremely positive attitude to learning, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). All children, including children with SEND and children who speak English as an additional language, make excellent progress. Staff ensure individual needs are integral in children's day-to-day experiences in the nursery.
Staff are extremely diligent in keeping children safe. They complete daily robust checks, indoors and outdoors, to reduce the risk of hazards.
A really lovely preschool! The staff are all super kind and caring towards the children. There’s a lovely community feel about the preschool too. There’s always such an array of amazing activities for the kids to get involved in and you can tell a lot of care and thought is put into each day. The staff also take and upload pictures daily, which I think is a lovely touch. My son is very happy here (since starting in April) and I would highly recommend to prospective parents.
