What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 13 March 2023

Abercromby Nursery is a wonderfully magical place to be. Children's faces beam with delight when they talk about their newly hatched chicks or are chosen in 'together time' for trying their best. Children are safe and happy as they excitedly explore the inspirational learning environment and the captivating activities on offer. Staff always have children's best interests and welfare at heart. Children are confident that adults will care for and support them. The exceptional relationships that staff have with children create a warm and secure atmosphere where all children excel. Whatever their starting points, children are exceptionally well supported in their learning and play by staff who are experts in understanding the needs of young children. In turn, children are inquisitive and happy learners. The excellent start that they enjoy at Abercromby Nursery ensures that they thrive and are fully prepared for their next school. Behaviour is exemplary. Children concentrate deeply. They are keen to persevere with a task until they get it right. They jump with glee when they learn new skills. Children form strong friendships, and they care greatly for one another. For example, when seeing a child sad another told her 'It is okay, we are all friends here.' Leaders make sure any potential bullying is nipped in the bud.
