About this day nursery

Inspector highlights

  • Staff watch children closely to find out what they know and can do. They plan activities to follow children's interests and support what they need to learn next.
  • Children have many opportunities to explore and investigate using a range of different materials.
  • Staff recognise that children have not had as many opportunities to develop their large physical skills during the COVID-19 pandemic. They, therefore, plan lots of activities for children to develop their skills in this area.
  • Overall, staff support children's language development well.
  • Staff say that they feel well supported by managers and are happy in their roles. They access regular training to extend their knowledge.
  • Staff work hard to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. They liaise with a range of other professionals to help children to reach their full potential.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff work hard to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. They liaise with a range of other professionals to help children to reach their full potential. Managers offer a very inclusive environment where all children are valued. For example, staff teach older children to use sign language. This helps them to communicate with their friends who use sign language as their main form of communication.

Outdoor space

Toddlers develop their muscles when they use spray bottles and make patterns outdoors. Children learn to negotiate moving up and down the grassy banks outdoors, and to use the stairs safely. The inspector observed the quality of education during activities indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.
