Ofsted

Ofsted inspect the standards of care, learning and education we provide, we were awarded Outstanding by Ofsted in 2025; inspector comments included:

"Children develop a strong sense of belonging at this very warm and friendly setting. They are extremely settled and happy. Children develop their senses as they explore with cereal and foam. They concentrate fully as they thread cereal and share books with their friends. Dedicated staff are respectful, gentle and kind.

They build wonderful relationships with children. Staff are very proud of children's achievements and provide plenty of praise and encouragement. This helps to build children's confidence and self-esteem.

There is a very strong focus on children's emotional development in the curriculum.

Staff talk to children about how they feel and greet them each morning in a fun way, with the choice of a cuddle, handshake or dance. Transitions within the daily routine are very calm and well organised. Children's behaviour is excellent. They play extremely well together. Children follow instructions very well as they tidy up and take turns to be 'helper of the day'.

Staff help children to grow rapidly in independence. They have developed a 'dummy station' to help children to rely less on comforters. Staff encourage children to respect each other's choices and make their own decisions. For example, children vote for which story they would like staff to read. This helps children to learn about fairness and democracy. Children serve themselves and focus fully as they peel fruit and pour drinks. They choose where to sit and carry their own plates. Children are extremely well prepared for their move to school or the next stage in their learning."
