About this day nursery

The nursery received a 'Good' rating in its latest Ofsted inspection on 17th November 2023. Children are welcomed warmly and confidently wave goodbye to their parents, eager to interact with the friendly staff.

Staff prioritise children's emotional well-being through sensitive interactions, building exceptionally close bonds that make children feel very safe and secure. The staff's consistent modelling of high expectations leads to excellent behaviour, with children showing respect, kindness, and cooperation.

The curriculum is well-designed, offering rich, varied, and meaningful activities that support all children in reaching their individual targets. Staff build on children's interests, ensuring knowledge, skills, and understanding are deeply embedded.

The playgroup focuses on developing both fine and gross motor skills, with opportunities for children to manipulate playdough, use tools like pipe cleaners and scissors, and engage in physical activities both indoors and outside using tricycles and bicycles. The manager and staff work effectively with parents and other professionals, sharing relevant information to support children's welfare and development, particularly for vulnerable children and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), ensuring they make good progress.

The setting fosters a communicative environment where staff engage with children about their experiences, helping them to express their feelings and develop empathy. Children are also supported in developing independence, from selecting their own snacks to practising self-care.

The safeguarding arrangements are effective, with all staff regularly refreshing their knowledge and trained as designated safeguarding leads.
