Our most recent OFSTED inspection graded us as ‘Outstanding’ – giving you the assurance that your child will receive the very best in early years education.

“Partnerships with parents are extremely strong. Staff engage parents exceptionally well in children’s development and provide them with an extensive range of information to support children’s learning at home. This promotes an exemplary collaborative approach to children’s learning.”
