What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 October 2022
This is a wonderful place for children to start their educational life. Children enjoy coming to school. They play beautifully with their friends. They are kind, thoughtful and considerate. Children take turns. They share toys even when they would really like to keep the 'dinosaur' for a little bit longer. The calm, welcoming environment helps children to settle quickly into the life of the school. Staff know the children individually. They make children feel safe, valued and special. Relationships between children and staff are exceptional. The children help the school to run smoothly. They know how to tidy up, wash their hands and put their coats and wellies on. They love the outdoor area. The mud kitchen is a hive of industry with mud pies, soup and potatoes cooked and served for a party. The children cooperate and enjoy each other's company. They run, fall over and bounce back up again. The children are resilient. They show sustained concentration and focus. The environment is safe and exciting. This means that children take risks and choose what they would like to do. Staff encourage the children to be independent and curious.
