Strengths
- “Children experience a warm, welcoming and nurturing environment where they are known remarkably well by staff.”
- “Children feel safe and secure, and parents and carers express strong confidence in the care provided by the school.”
- “Staff build close, trusting relationships with children, taking time to understand each child’s personality, needs and routines.”
To improve
- “Attendance is variable for some children, which can interrupt their learning and routines.”
- “However, at times, children's achievement is not as positive as it could be.”
- “Sometimes, checks on what children know are not sharp enough to identify specific gaps in learning and build on what children already know.”
