Alumwell Nursery School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 28 November 2023

Children are happy and safe. They are inquisitive and interested learners. They have exceptionally strong attachments with their keyworker. This allows them to settle quickly. Children explore the many varied learning opportunities on offer, both indoors and out. They do so safe in the knowledge that they can return for reassurance if needed. Children are bathed in language from the moment they start at the setting. Conversations, chats and communication happen naturally throughout the day, promoting children's language development exceptionally well. Children receive regular individual attention from an adult. This is key to the strong progress that they make. Parents and carers who spoke to an inspector were overwhelmingly positive. They praised the support that the school provides, as well as the quality of their children's learning. They have much to be positive about. The school goes above and beyond in offering an extensive range of parent workshops and signposting support. Children enjoy many opportunities to extend their learning. A nativity with real animals is the upcoming highlight. Alumwell adventures are a regular part of the routine. Visiting vets, blind dogs and zoos bring learning to life for children.
