What Ofsted Say about us

“Children are very confident in the familiar surroundings. They quickly settle into their play and engage with their friends and all staff. Staff have high expectations of children, who learn to cooperate and negotiate in their play.”
“Children develop self-help skills through the daily routines and the effective support from staff. Children learn to choose what to play with and where to play, extending their play from inside to outside and back again.”
“Children’s communication skills are very well supported. Staff have completed additional training and initiated support to help children who lack confidence and the ability to communicate their needs.”

“Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive excellent levels of support. Staff identify their needs and work in partnership with parents and other professionals. They plan activities and experiences that link to children’s best ways of learning. Children’s achievements are celebrated, however small, and shared with parents.”

What Parents Say about us

“Friendly and welcoming staff that our son adores to be with. They take great care of him and we feel comfortable leaving him in their capable hands.”

“Wonderful pre-school, lovely staff & my daughter loves it here & I’m sure my son will too when he joins in September.”

Friendly local preschool and our son loves his time there”

“My daughter loves this pre-school! So much more personal than the larger nursery she went to. Less expensive too because it’s a not for profit charity rather than a money making scheme”

“I can’t recommend this pre-school enough. The staff know all the children well, my son has always enjoyed being there. The activities they organise, the trips out and the woodland adventure are all first class. I’m extremely happy we decided on this over other pre-schools”
