What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 7 June 2023

Children enjoy coming to school every day. They arrive happy and cannot wait to meet their friends and start playing. Children flourish thanks to the nurture and care of adults and exciting learning opportunities. Leaders and staff have very high expectations for all children, especially those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They help to keep children safe. Children have extremely positive attitudes towards their play and learning. Staff teach children to understand how to look after themselves, physically and mentally. They provide many resources to support children's development. Young children experiment in the outdoor area to make 'potions' from coloured liquids and different herbs. They create vivid wall designs using paint rollers. Staff capture children's interests. They encourage children to think creatively and develop their independence. For example, children learn stories and songs during 'island time'. Staff help children to behave excellently and remain focused. Children achieve very well here. They are fully ready for their next stages in education. Staff work closely with parents and carers who spoke highly of the school. They valued that their children could thrive at the school.
