What is it like to attend this early years setting?
Children are warmly welcomed into this friendly, family orientated environment. Staff greet them with enthusiasm as they arrive, and share detailed hand over sessions with parents. As a result, children settle very quickly and are eager to start their day. All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) make rapid progress in their learning and development. Staff provide an extensive range of exciting and stimulating activities that captivate children's curiosity and inspire them to learn. For example, children are enthralled as they make reindeer food and add 'magic glitter' to it to help the reindeers fly. Staff organise the environment and activities successfully to provide children with purposeful learning experiences. They organise group times based on children's level of development and individual learning needs. Staff tailor the activities so that every child is able to participate fully and be totally involved. As a result, children are highly motivated and eager learners.
Children's behaviour is exemplary. Staff talk to children about the 'golden rules'. Children know that they don't hit and kick because this would make other people feel sad. They say that they need to be kind because caring is sharing. Staff reinforce positive behaviour at all times. As a result, children are kind, considerate and respectful towards others.

Ofsted grades before November 2025 (England)
Inspections before November 2025 gave one overall grade on a four-point scale: Outstanding, Good, Requires improvement, Inadequate. Ofsted also graded the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management, and said whether safeguarding was effective.
Settings keep their last grade until Ofsted visits again, so many nurseries still show a grade from this older scale.
