This report uses the pre-November 2025 framework (4 areas: Quality of Education, Behaviour & Attitudes, Personal Development, Leadership & Management), all graded 'Good'. Mapped to the new 7-area November 2025 framework: Safeguarding is Met (effective arrangements confirmed); Curriculum and Teaching, Achievement, Behaviour/Attitudes/Routines, and Welfare/Well-being are all graded 'Good' (mapped to Expected Standard, 70-75 range); Inclusion and Leadership/Governance are inferred as 'Good' based on evidence of inclusive practice and strong management oversight. The nursery demonstrates warm, secure relationships, good progress for all children including those with SEND, and effective staff training. Two specific improvement areas are identified: inconsistent communication with other settings children attend, and suboptimal organisation of the baby lunchtime routine. Overall score calculated at 72 (Expected Standard across most areas with Safeguarding Met at 100).
