All staff have received training on intensive interaction and this is used in their daily practice.

Ofsted says:

“The quality of teaching across the nursery is excellent, staff are highly skilled and all children make exceptional progress in their learning.”

“Children’s behaviour is impeccable, they play and learn happily together.  This is due to the strong and consistent relationships with staff, who set an excellent example.”

“Staff have a first class approach to supporting children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities, they quickly identify individual children’s learning needs and provide excellent support to parents.”
