Kendal Nursery School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 28 January 2025

Children thoroughly enjoy attending this remarkable school. They engage in a broad range of exciting learning experiences. The extensive outdoor environment evokes awe and wonder in children as they become completely absorbed in their learning. For example, children have thoughtful discussions with their friends as they play together under the trees. They use their well-developed creativity and problem-solving skills to transport sticks and rocks in wheelbarrows to build a house and to design their own maps. Children challenge themselves to climb, slide and run up steep banks. They develop high levels of confidence and become fiercely independent at this school. Staff support children to feel safe and help them to understand their emotions. Children behave exceptionally well and are incredibly respectful towards each other. They consistently take turns and share with minimal support from staff. Children understand, and confidently follow, the school's embedded routines. The school is aspirational for its children. Since the last inspection, the school has further strengthened many aspects of its work to ensure that it continues to provide an excellent quality of education to all. Children develop a rich body of knowledge and are well prepared for the next stage of their education.
