Bloomsbury Nursery School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 10 May 2023

Bloomsbury Nursery School is an exciting place to be. Children have great fun and enjoy attending. This is a calm and purposeful place. Children are happy and safe. Staff are committed to making every moment count. Leaders set high expectations of how all children will behave. Children learn to be part of the Bloomsbury community. They learn to develop an awareness of other people's feelings. Children learn to accept the consequences of their own behaviour. The school rules are embedded in daily routines and the curriculum. Staff model and rehearse the school rules throughout the day. For example, during family time they praise children for 'good listening' or 'good sitting'. Children learn to respect each other and manage their feelings. Incidents of poor behaviour or bullying are extremely rare, and if they do happen, leaders resolve them swiftly and effectively. Children who need additional support to manage their emotions, and develop the skills of self-regulation, are supported effectively to develop a positive sense of self and make good friendships. As a result, children have confidence in their own abilities and are able to persist and persevere. Leaders carefully select a range of visits and trips to broaden children's horizons. This includes walks in the local area, visits to the local shops and a family day out to the farm. Parents are very positive about Bloomsbury Nursery School and value the great start to their children's education.
