A summary of our Ofsted reports

Read the quotes below for a very quick snapshot of the feedback we’ve received.

“Children are happy to see their friends and greet each other with a cuddle or a ‘high five’. Staff encourage children to share the resources with others. For example, children use construction bricks together and talk to each other about how many layers of bricks they need. Children concentrate, listen and work well together. Staff encourage all children to join in, and make sure the resources and activities meet their individual needs, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). “
