What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 22 September 2023

Broomhall Nursery School has high ambition for all who attend. Children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), benefit from the highly effective support that they receive from the expert practitioners. Well-established routines enable children to settle quickly into the school day. From an early stage, children develop a sense of belonging. Over time, they grow in confidence. Children enjoy playing in the classroom as well as exploring in the large outside area. Children who struggle to regulate their behaviour are very well supported. Adults provide appropriate and timely intervention. This helps children to manage their feelings and emotions in an age-appropriate manner. Leaders are rightly proud of the sense of community that the school provides. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the education that their children receive. A parent told inspectors that their child says that the nursery is 'awesome'! Staff get to know the children and their families from the moment they start at the school. Parents value the opportunity to speak to staff at the beginning or end of a session. Workshops and 'Saturday Specials' provide regular times for parents to find out what their children learn in school.
