Bognor Regis Nursery School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 9 May 2024

This is a highly inclusive nursery where children flourish. Staff take time to build positive relationships with the children. This helps build a clear sense of belonging and community throughout the nursery. Parents recognise what a special place this nursery is. They comment on the caring environment and the support that their children experience. Children come happily into nursery. They understand the well-established routines and enjoy choosing which area to play in. When they first join the school, well-planned transition sessions, attended with their parents, help children to quickly become familiar with their key worker and the setting. Adults help to keep children safe. They expertly balance supporting children with encouraging them to develop independence. This can particularly be seen when children are playing outdoors. Staff supervise the children carefully as they explore the climbing equipment and help them to navigate the structures safely. Children achieve really well due to the carefully planned curriculum that is in place. Different areas of learning are matched skilfully to children's interests. For example, adults place non-fiction books about mini-beasts in the garden area to help develop children's literacy skills while having giant snails in one of the classrooms which help children to develop their understanding of the natural world.
