Caverstede celebrates 65 years as a nursery school this year and five years as a children's centre, after becoming an Early Excellence Centre in 2002 in recognition of its work with children with special needs.
Its ethos is about keeping the child and the family at the centre of practice. It has a long-standing history of high-quality inclusive practice, and a quarter of its places are for children with special educational needs. Practitioners value children and families as unique and respond to their needs sensitively and with skill.
Last year, Caverstede was graded outstanding in both its early years inspection and section 5 inspection, in addition to gaining a Bronze Investors in People Award, which acknowledged the high level of empowerment felt by staff.
