‘Staff care for children exceptionally well. Parents and carers value staff knowing their children so well. Children develop warm, trusting relationships with staff. Such relationships are also evident between staff and parents. Parents appreciate this aspect of Marsh Hill’ (Ofsted Feb ’24).

‘Every adult is an expert at knowing what is needed, when and just how much to help each child to behave and achieve well. Staff challenge children effectively.

They do this with skill and success’ (Ofsted Feb ’24).
