What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 16 May 2023
Children are very happy at Hillfields Nursery. It is a lovely place for children to start their school experience. Home visits and visits to school by parents and their children take place before children start. This prepares the children well for when they join the school. Leaders and staff have the highest expectations for all children. They select activities and resources to ensure that children achieve highly. Staff get to know and understand each child. They make strong connections with parents and families. Staff encourage and help parents to support their child at home. Children behave very well indeed. Staff encourage them to be respectful and kind. Children take notice when staff explain to them how to behave sensibly. They play cooperatively and show obvious care for each other. Unkind behaviour is not tolerated and is dealt with quickly by staff. Children are safe in this vibrant and joyful school. Staff ensure that children are well prepared for primary school. Every minute counts at Hillfields. Staff gently and patiently show children how to do things. They encourage them to persist, help them to think through problems and challenge them to do more. Parents value the school's work immensely.
