What Ofsted said about us
"Children play in an environment that fosters their creativity and sparks their
imaginations. Staff plan the environment around the organisation of the curriculum.
Children help to care for the many healthy plants, which bring greenery and nature
to the indoor spaces. They enjoy group activities, such as painting, construction
and physical play in a variety of open spaces. Staff carefully provide nooks where
children can find calmer, more-enclosed spaces. Outside in the garden, children
have further opportunities to climb, slide and enjoy messy play. Staff organise
activities in the flexible outdoor space to support children's physical skills.
There is a big welcoming kitchen at the heart of the nursery. The chef cooks fresh,
nutritious food daily. Children take turns to sit at the table in the kitchen at
mealtimes, where they see the kitchen team at work. Children eat heartily and
many ask for seconds. Staff have high expectations for children's behaviour.
Children say 'please' and 'thank you', and behave kindly towards their peers and
adults. They are happy and content. Children respond positively to the interesting
and challenging activities that staff organise."
