Garretts Green Nursery School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 9 July 2024

Children thrive in this happy and nurturing nursery. They make a strong start to school life. Highly skilled staff use their expertise and detailed knowledge of each child to cater precisely for their needs. Ambition and aspirations are high. No limits are placed on what children can achieve and accomplish. Effective teaching and regular interaction ensure that all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve exceptionally well. Adults have high expectations for how children should behave. They model exemplary behaviour, which children replicate. As a 'Rights Respecting School', staff teach important values, such as respect and the right to be heard. These values underpin the strong ethos of the school. There is a strong culture of safeguarding within the school. Children feel safe because staff use every opportunity to remind and teach children how to keep themselves safe. Special characters, such as 'Techosaurus' and 'Pantosaurus', teach children about online and personal safety. The school provides a wide range of opportunities and real-life experiences to help extend children's interests and experiences beyond the classroom. For example, children visit the local library, catch a bus, and grow their own produce.
