Ofsted Inspection Summary

Children display a strong sense of belonging, independently placing their bags and coats on named pegs."

Key strengths

Areas for improvement

  • strengthen the organisation of everyday routines to ensure interactions are purposeful and consistently used to extend children's learning.
