Curriculum
Our curriculum standards are set following The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework which enables us to deliver a high standard of development and learning outcomes for our children. Through a system of careful planning using observations taken of the children, we are able to provide a curriculum which enhances their individual progression towards their transition into school. We understand that well adjusted children are more likely to thrive in a challenging academic environment later on in life.
We are members of the Early Years Alliance. The Early Years Alliance is the largest and most representative early years membership organisation in England. They support early years providers to deliver quality, affordable and sustainable care and learning to families, and work to ensure that all children, regardless of background, are given the best possible start in life.
Ofsted
We are an Ofsted registered setting. Ofsted is the Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills. They inspect services providing education and skills for learners of all ages. Our latest inspection judged us to be a ‘Good’ setting.

Staff support children to develop their communication and language skills well. Staff identify any gaps in children’s development, and the special educational needs coordinator (SENCo) provides targeted interventions to help them catch up.
Children enjoy plenty of fresh air and exercise to keep them fit and healthy. Staff praise children for sharing and taking turns and model good manners and kindness.
Staff work closely with parents to help ensure that children make good progress from the outset. Children are well prepared for the next stage of their education, including school.’
