“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.”

“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.”
