Our Mission Statement/Intent
At Little Peepul day Nursery we aim to ensure children develop as physically and emotional independent learners ready for transition to school, through provision that promotes engaging and fun activities in all area of development which enhances a child’s development to flourish and reach their potential regardless of their background, circumstances or needs.
What OFSTED said
“Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported well at the nursery. Swift intervention is provided for those who require additional support. Staffs are confident in their role in supporting children with SEND. As a result of this, children are making good progress.”
“Children with English as an additional language are supported well. When children first start at nursery, they are given a key person who supports them in using their home language as well as learning English. This helps to settle children and builds attachments. Staff help children to progress as they build their confidence in using new vocabulary and language skills.”
“Staff provide well-planned and carefully thought out activities for children to help support their learning based on what children know and can do and their interests. Children show good levels of engagement in their play for sustained periods.”
