Emneth Nursery School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 October 2024

Children arrive happily at this appealing nursery school. They are calm and confident because staff provide them with expert support and guidance. Children and staff have trusting relationships. This is important because it helps the children to feel safe and secure. Children know that adults will help them when they need it. Staff have high expectations for children. Children live up to this. They behave very well and achieve highly. The carefully designed tasks they engage in build their skills and knowledge. Staff ensure children learn an ever-increasing vocabulary and become more self-assured. As a result, children are prepared exceptionally well for primary school. Children are settled and know the routines. Familiar songs help children recognise when session times change. This means that transition times are calm and efficient. As a result, the school maximises learning time. Staff help children to develop important independence skills. For example, children know how to get the right resources for each task. The indoor and outdoor spaces are extremely well-designed to attract children's attention, engage their interest and develop essential life skills.
