Good
3 July 2025
A welcoming nursery where children thrive in a safe and stimulating environment. Real-life experiences and outdoor play enhance learning, while staff adapt activities to extend individual development. Children make good progress in speech and language, supported by skilled staff. The nursery fosters independence, though there's room for improvement in encouraging self-care skills and providing more time for children to respond to questions. Parents praise children's progress and feel part of a 'second family'.
