WE'RE OUTSTANDING

AGAIN,

for the the 3rd consecutive inspection,

2011, 2015, 2019

 

Owner/Manager, Pauline Crowder says "Our amazing Early Years team and the wonderful children in our care, were very happy to show our 'Outstanding' setting off to the Ofsted Inspector at our recent Inspection. We're particularly delighted with one of the comments made " Children are highly motivated learners and demonstrate exceptional levels of inquisitiveness. They thrive in the well-resourced and stimulating environment where staff offer a wealth of exciting opportunities to explore and investigate." The Inspector also commented "Children are excited to learn and are extremely well prepared for the move to school".
