Quality Assurance
In the past we have been part of the Norfolk Quality Assurance Scheme which ensured that we constantly monitored and developed our provision to enable us to provide quality experiences for the children we care for. It took the Nursery almost 2 years to gain this award.
We still follow this practice to maintain our high standard.
Our friendly team of staff are trained to meet the needs of all the children within the nursery. We provide a high adult to child ratio which is essential in providing good quality nursery care. We operate a key person system which allows each child to have a specific member of staff who will help them settle and develop with confidence within the nursery setting.
We had our latest Ofsted Inspection during Summer 2021.
Equality & Diversity
We work in accordance with the Equality Act 2010 and Special Educational Needs and Disability Code of Practice 2014. We respect all children and recognise their individuality. We provide opportunities for all children to develop in an environment free from prejudice and discrimination.
