Langley Moor Nursery School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 15 May 2024

Children at Langley Moor Nursery bounce into school every day. They have an infectious enthusiasm to learn. The nursery environment is calm and ordered. There is a very clear structure of routines and organisation. The school has well-defined behaviour expectations that children understand and follow. For example, two-year-old children respond swiftly to the 'hands up' signal that identifies the end of a session. As a result, children's behaviour is exemplary. Children are kind and respectful to each other, to staff and to the environment. Children engage enthusiastically in a wide range of activities indoors and out and show positive attitudes to their learning. Children sustain high levels of concentration and show perseverance when facing challenges. The school provides children with excellent pastoral support. It teaches them to keep themselves physically and mentally healthy. The school uses the woodland area effectively for outdoor learning. Practitioners ensure that they make meaningful links to the seven areas of the early years curriculum. For example, children listen attentively to a story, use their fine motor skills to cut and pick natural resources while practitioners model mathematical language, such as longer, shorter, more and less. The school ensures children are well-prepared socially, emotionally and educationally for the next stage in their learning.
