Areas to develop
Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection
Parents are very happy with the care and education provided by the nursery.
Inclusion & environment
Staff intervene quickly when they have concerns about a child's development and tailor support to target children's specific needs. They work collaboratively with parents, outside organisations, and other settings to ensure children and their families receive necessary care and support.
Staff develop children's knowledge of the natural world as they dig together outside and learn about different insects. Younger children happily play alongside each other and have opportunities to learn from their older peers while in the outdoor area. Children participate in a broad range of learning opportunities, both inside and outside.
