Hindley Nursery School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 31 March 2023

Children thrive at this delightful and welcoming nursery school. They are happy and safe. They are exceptionally motivated to learn. Staff aim to give children the best start to their early education. They make sure that children do not miss any opportunity to learn. Leaders and staff have high aspirations for every child. Children thoroughly understand what staff expect of their behaviour and for their achievements. All areas of the nursery inspire children to develop into inquisitive learners. Children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve all that they can. They leave the nursery incredibly well prepared for the next stage in their education. From the earliest of ages, children learn to share and to take turns with others. If anyone is unkind, or bullying occurs, leaders and staff deal with it straightaway. Children learn to value everyone's differences. They had thoughtful conversations with inspectors about the reasons why some people wear glasses. Visitors to the nursery strengthen children's understanding of cultures different from their own. Children relish the vast array of experiences that staff provide. For example, staff bring in their own animals to help children learn how to care for living things. Children benefit from trips in the local community, such as to the shops to buy baking ingredients. Parents and carers were overwhelmingly positive about the school and praised staff for how nurturing and caring they are. They know that their children are 'at the heart' of all that leaders and staff do.
