  • Children's personal, social and emotional development is a significant strength.
  • Leadership and management are key to the consistently strong practice across the nursery and the positive outcomes for children.

Areas to develop

  • 1Leaders and those responsible for governance should sustain their work to ensure continued improvement and high standards. They should focus on creating a transformational impact on the outcomes and experiences of disadvantaged children, those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, those who are known (or previously known) to children's social care, and those who may face other barriers to their learning and/or wellbeing.
