What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 May 2023
'A place to learn, achieve and grow' is exactly what Jakeman Nursery School is. Children thrive in this setting. Staff set high expectations and provide the utmost care and attention to children's needs. Children respond well to this and soon learn how to follow the rhythms and routines of the day. Parents and carers appreciate all that staff do for their children. One parent's comment, 'I leave the nursery feeling at peace that my children are more than well looked after' was echoed by many. Children learn that they have rights. They also learn that they have responsibilities. 'Nursery experts' help children to take these responsibilities seriously. They told inspectors that they 'drink water to be healthy, put scissors back where they belong to be safe and put plastic in the bin with the green lid'. Children delight in each other's company as much as they do working alongside an adult. They know and follow the rules. Adults calmly and kindly help those who need a little more time to get it right. Children also give time and space to those who need it. They share a kind word and hold out their hand to offer a way into a game or activity.
