Training for our baby room
"Since the last inspection, staff working with babies have undertaken training to specifically support this area of their work. This has had a positive impact on the provision."

Ofsted's grades are: exceptional, strong standard, expected standard, needs attention and urgent improvement. Expected standard means the nursery is "fulfilling the expected standard of education and/or care".
"They talk about the nursery being a 'home-from-home' experience and being an extension of their own family."
In Ofsted's words
What the inspector saw
"Parents speak incredibly highly of the care and support they receive for their children. They talk about the nursery being a 'home-from-home' experience and being an extension of their own family."
"Children typically arrive happy and ready to learn, and immediately join in with activities. They separate from their parents and carers with ease, demonstrating that they feel safe and secure in the nursery."
"Staff are positive role models and form secure relationships with their key children. This helps to reinforce children's sense of belonging."
"Nappy-changing is a calm, personal experience, and staff talk to babies and toddlers throughout the routine."
"Leaders work effectively with local schools. Staff go with children to visit their new classrooms, and teachers visit the children in the nursery."
Since our last inspection
How we've improved
Our previous inspection, in September 2025, found that some areas required improvement. We took that seriously. This is what Ofsted said about our progress in July 2026:
A new, inclusive curriculum
"Since the last inspection, leaders and staff have worked actively with the local authority to develop their inclusive curriculum."
Better tracking of every child's progress
"Since the last inspection, leaders have introduced a new assessment process to monitor children's development. This helps to ensure that all children progress well from their starting points."
Support from the local authority
"Leaders and staff have received support from the local authority to improve their practice. They have now introduced a curriculum that is designed with children in mind."
More for children to do outdoors
"They have recently enhanced the outside area with tyres and planks as they recognise the importance of physical development, fresh air and exercise."
Next steps
What Ofsted suggested next
Ofsted gave us two next steps to keep improving:
- Giving children enough time to answer questions and solve problems for themselves.
- More chances for children to practise their skills and knowledge in creative ways.
You can see some of the ways we encourage creativity and thinking at home in ourActivities section.
