What Ofsted said...

In the Day Nursery...

Staff have created a safe, stimulating and welcoming environment in which children of all ages thrive.

 

Staff thread high quality support for children's language development into all aspects of nursery life. 

 

Mealtimes are social occasions, used well to promote independence. Key-person arrangements are very effective in enhancing children's sense of belonging and safety

 

Partnerships with parents are a real strength of the nursery. Right from the start, staff build meaningful relationships with parents and keep them very well informed about their children's progress.

In the Nursery School...

Children are thriving at this happy nursery school. They cannot wait to begin their day and arrive eager and ready to learn.

 

Leaders have high ambition for every child to develop a love of learning and achieve exceptionally well. They make sure that all children, irrespective of their starting points, are very well prepared for starting school.

 

Children behave extremely well. Staff model kindness and care deeply about every child.

 

Staff are proud to belong to this vibrant nursery. They work together as a tight-knit team where ‘everyone looks after each other’. Strong teamwork and shared high aspirations for the children in this community are pivotal to the success of this school.

 

The very well-appointed outdoor area is a hive of activity. Children love exploring out here, whatever the weather.
