Bridlington Nursery School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 20 June 2023

Bridlington Nursery School provides exceptional support for children at the start of their educational journey. Practitioners develop strong relationships with children. Adults build a stimulating learning environment that celebrates the achievements of children. This helps to build children's confidence and self-esteem. Children love their nursery. They leave singing and happy at the end of a session. Practitioners teach children the routines of the nursery in clear and accessible ways. They use language that children can understand. For example, they remind children to use 'walking feet' indoors if they inadvertently run. Practitioners help children to build positive relationships and to respect one another's feelings. If children fall out, they use thoughtful questions to restore relationships. Leaders have developed a unique curriculum to raise aspiration and meet the needs of the children. They ensure that it lays the right foundations to prepare children for primary education. Leaders go above and beyond in supporting and engaging with families. They provide a range of drop-in groups where parents and carers can chat informally to staff. Parents can see how their children learn at 'stay and play' sessions. They can discuss support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and for children who speak English as an additional language. Leaders help families by signposting them to other services for support. This close working with families supports children's learning and their wider development.
