What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 May 2023
This is a highly inclusive nursery where children flourish. Everyone is welcome and valued for who they are. This sense of celebrating each child's unique qualities, talents and interests permeates through the nursery. Children very happily enter the building and are keen to explore the well-chosen activities on offer. This includes the extensive outdoor environment. In this space, children play together and take turns. They know they must use a timer on the bicycles and trikes so that everyone has a go. The children are enthusiastic and eager to share their nursery with visitors. Adults focus on the principles of positive behaviour. They work with children to help them to understand how to resolve conflicts independently and why there are rules in place. Children follow these high expectations. For example, when someone is using the monkey bars, other children make sure they remain on the bench so everyone is safe. The school places great emphasis on knowing each child and understanding their specific needs and interests. The high-level support and care that every child receives is recognised by parents, who are grateful that their child can attend this nursery. The vision of every child being central to decision-making at this school is lived out in all that staff do.
