What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 16 May 2023

Children arrive happily to school each day. The start of each session is filled with smiles and excitement. They waste no time getting stuck into the things they enjoy. Staff bring out the best in each and every child. They are really good at using what they know about children's interests to engage them in meaningful activities through play. Throughout the school, in all rooms and outside, children have endless opportunities to explore for themselves and find things out. For example, children have recently been learning about the different birds that come to visit their garden area. They delighted in the chance to go birdwatching outside, using picture cards to help them spot the differences. Staff make sure that children achieve highly. They know what each child needs next in their learning. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are extremely well supported. Staff are particularly strong at supporting children's speech, language and communication development. Well-planned nurture and language groups, for example, make a significant difference to children's learning. The school is a haven where children are safe. They play and learn so well together. Their behaviour is exemplary. Staff ensure that children achieve highly. They are very well prepared for primary school.
