Blagdon Nursery School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 2 May 2024

Staff greet children with wide smiles, warmth and reassurance at the start of each nursery session. They build strong and trusting relationships with children, who settle quickly and are very happy to be in school. Parents are rightly confident that their children are in safe hands. One said: 'Staff are wonderful. They are kind and caring to every one of their children and understand their needs.' Children learn and behave exceptionally well. They thrive in the school's safe, nurturing and highly inclusive atmosphere, greeting each new activity with interest and excitement. Children make striking progress in the development of personal, social and independence skills. The youngest quickly settle in, hanging their coats up at the start of each session and moving confidently between activities. The oldest are thoroughly well prepared for the move to 'big school'. Parents are understandably enthusiastic about the school's impact on their children's learning and development. One said: 'My child has come so far. I cannot thank them enough.' The school's ambition for every single child's learning is clear. Staff are passionate about teaching and know precisely how to support each child so that they flourish. The school's provision for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is exemplary.
