What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 6 February 2024

This is a very happy nursery school. Children and staff enjoy warm and trusting working relationships. Children are surrounded by adults who know them inside out and care for them deeply. Staff smile, encourage and praise children for every success. Children enter school enthusiastically. They move quickly to engage with the range of carefully chosen activities available for the day. School leaders are determined to ensure that all children thrive in their learning and development. Staff have the expertise to support all children in achieving ambitious personal targets. The school is a highly inclusive community. Children with special education needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive sharply tailored support. All children leave the nursery extremely well prepared for starting primary school. Children's behaviour is excellent. Right from the start, staff establish clear routines and set high expectations. Staff help children to understand when they make a 'sad choice' and how to move quickly to making a 'good choice'. Children soon make friends and get to enjoy each other's company. They play together and use their imaginations, like going on a picnic, selling ice-cream or role-playing doctors and patients. Parents said that staff keep them in the loop, 'every step of the way', about their children's progress and how they too can support their children at home.
