Golborne & Maxilla Nursery School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 4 May 2023

Children love coming to this nursery. Parents and carers would recommend the school highly to others. One parent summed this up by saying, 'It is like a big family, with a wonderful community.' This sentiment was shared by all those who spoke with the inspection team. Leaders have created a highly ambitious curriculum. They make sure that children, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), receive the support they need to thrive and be confident in all areas of learning. Staff are skilled at interacting with children. They know how to get them involved in a wide range of experiences, such as 'dress-up' days. Staff work together to create a purposeful environment, selecting activities and resources that support children's development exceptionally well. Children take part in activities with enthusiasm. Staff help children to learn alongside each other. They are taught to listen and to look after resources, as well as to be considerate of each other. Children get lots of opportunities to experience and talk about new things, both in the nursery and beyond. For example, children spoke excitedly about what they found out during their visits to the local area. Most recently, they have been on visits to see the sights of London as part of marking the coronation of King Charles III.
