From the inspection on 4 October 2023

Children are very happy and settled at Kings Norton Nursery. Whatever their starting points, children are exceptionally well supported in their learning and play. Staff are experts in understanding the needs of young children. In turn, children are inquisitive learners. The excellent start that they enjoy ensures that they are fully prepared for their next school. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and disadvantaged children thrive and achieve highly alongside their peers. Adults keep children safe, including when the children excitedly explore the learning environment and the captivating activities on offer. Staff always have children's best interests and welfare at heart. Children are confident that adults will care for and support them. The exceptional relationships that staff have with children create a warm and secure atmosphere where all children excel. Behaviour is exemplary. Children concentrate deeply. They are keen to persevere with a task until they get it right. Learning new skills excites the children. Children form strong friendships, and they care greatly for one another. Visits to school by parents and their child take place before children start. This prepares the children well for when they join the school. Parents value the school's work immensely.
