To provide the best possible care and education for every child who attends our pre-school
What Ofsted think of us:
"There are excellent relationships between the staff and children, and between the children themselves. Children have extremely strong emotional attachments to their key person and this supports their emotional well-being. Children's behaviour is exemplary." Ofsted June 2018
"Children are extremely friendly and confident." Ofsted June 2018
"Staff very effectivley support children's physical development. For example, children benefit from a highly nutritious diet and superb opportunities to climb and explore in their local environment." Ofsted June 2018
"Children's communication and language development is effectively supported. Staff help to extend their vocabulary, such as encouraging the use of adjectives" Ofsted June 2018
"Staff provide effective support to develop children's reading skills. For example, they learn the letters and the sounds they represent, and join in with patterned language in favourite stories. Children lead their own learning." Ofsted June 2018
"Staff very strongly promote children's understanding of the importance of recycling in the setting. Children know which bin to put different items of rubbish in," Ofsted June 2018
"Children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities are well supported." Ofsted June 2018
"Children are well prepared for the next stage of their education, including school." Ofsted June 2018
