Hillview Nursery School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 10 June 2025

The school has high expectations for what children can achieve. All children, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), learn consistently well. Well-established routines enable children to settle quickly into the school day. From an early stage, children develop a sense of belonging. Over time, they grow in confidence. Children enjoy playing in the classroom as well as exploring in the large outside area. Children receive an extremely high level of care. From the moment they join the school, parents and carers are confident in how staff support their children's well-being. Children have many trusted adults to talk to. They value the nurturing support they receive, which fosters children's deep sense of safety. A parent told inspectors that the school was a 'dream,' and their child's needs were met very well and 'loves coming to the nursery'. Children's behaviour throughout the school is positive. Children celebrate differences between themselves and others. They are encouraged to become considerate and tolerant. Staff maintain a respectful environment by teaching children how to behave in lessons, so that they can enjoy learning new things. This approach helps children to manage their emotions and to make improved choices in how they behave.
