Summary of key findings for parents This provision is good and Staff use a variety of effective methods to engage parents and involve them in all aspects of the nursery. For example, parents are regularly invited to attend activity days and have access to an online recording tool to see their child’s observations and achievements.
The manager and staff are positive role models for children. They manage behaviour calmly and encourage children to be sensitive towards others. Children are polite, friendly and well mannered.
Staff know their key children well. They observe children and make regular assessments. They use these observations to understand children’s interests and abilities, and plan suitability challenging activities. All children make good progress.
The manager has a clear vision for the nursery and evaluates practice routinely. She uses feedback from parents, staff and children to identify areas for improvement.
Staff support children who speak English as an additional language well. For example, staff collect words used at home from parents and use these to support the children to communicate throughout the day.

The Government has announced they are helping parents with childcare so they can return to work more easily via a range of new measures.
This will be rolled out in stages:
All children in England aged three and four are eligible for 15 hours free childcare, meaning all families qualify for the scheme. If your child is three or four years old, you get 15 hours free childcare or early education per week for 38 weeks of the year (during term time). This comes to a total of 570 hours over a 12-month period.
The 15 hours free childcare for two-year-olds are for families which receive some form of support, such as income support, Universal Credit or other benefits, or their child has, for example, Special Educational Needs (SEND). You can use the hours from 1 January, 1 April or 1 September following your child’s third birthday.
Yes- we offer every new child a chance to settle into nursery life by offering a one hour session a day before they start. This offers each child a chance to meet their key worker, other teachers and children in their class.
Yes. Your child can attend our setting for one day per week although we encourage parents to undertake a minimum of two days in order for their child to establish a routine.
Our parents pay fees on the first day of each month on a monthly basis via a standing order.
Our account details are listed on the application form as well as introduction letters.
All meals are included in our wraparound service and for children of two year in receipt of 15 funded hours. For those 3-year-old in receipt of 15hours funding pay £5.00 per week during term-time.
Yes we offer a multi sports session weekly with an independent company offering a range of activates for lower school and upper pre-school.
No- we request that all parents/carers provide a pack of nappies and wipes for their child. We will advise you when they are low so you can replenish.
Yes. Our nursery has a large outdoor play area. We also offer our parents and children trips away from the nursery visiting farms, zoos, beaches and amusement parks.
Staff will provide information during handover everyday and we also use ‘Famly’ which is an app designed to promote clear communication between staff and families. This is updated daily/weekly for each child.
Login details are shared with parents when their child commence their sessions.
No. We have children in our setting with life-changing allergens, therefore we discourage children from bringing in meals from home.
