What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 14 March 2024

This is an incredibly happy school. Children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), settle quickly into the extremely well organised routines that the school has established. Children feel safe. They enjoy learning with their many new friends, as well as with staff. Children's interests and opinions matter greatly to leaders and staff. They are genuinely interested in what children wish to communicate. Staff respond skilfully to the needs and stage of development of each child. Every child is included in all that the school offers and has an equal chance to succeed. Children learn to be kind and thoughtful. Staff expertly guide them about how to behave. Starting in the classroom for two-year-olds, staff successfully help children to start sharing toys and resources with other children. Children, including those in the specially resourced provision for children with SEND (specially resourced provision), achieve highly. This is because the school strives to provide children with the absolute best curriculum, teaching and support. Children are very well prepared for the next stage of their education. The school is highly popular with parents and carers, not least because of the wonderful, well-thought-out opportunities that two-, three- and four-year old children experience in learning indoors and outdoors.
