GoodInspected 12 November 2024

This inspection was a thorough and insightful process, and we’re proud that the report reflects many of the strengths of our nursery — from the close relationships our team builds with children, to the open, positive culture we hold around safeguarding.

The inspector was particularly struck by children singing confidently in French and Spanish, drawn from our multilingual approach, noting that it gives children the chance to learn about the world around them and understand different languages.

We are also very grateful for the parents who told inspectors that our school is “a loving environment for children to learn and develop”.
