Lilycroft Nursery School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 23 March 2023

Children's behaviour at this school is excellent. Expectations are high. Throughout the day, adults reinforce how children should behave. For example, adults use gentle reminders to make sure children take turns. Children learn to raise their own expectations of how everybody should behave. Children move confidently around this exciting environment, quickly becoming independent. They receive encouragement from adults to do things for themselves. For example, the two-year-old children pour their own drinks from the jug available. Staff focus on fostering strong communication and language skills. Interactions between adults and children are excellent. Adults act as good role models. They promote key vocabulary and encourage children to use more complex language and sentences. School leaders promote the important role that parents play in their child's early development. They plan events and give parents information that helps them become even more involved in their child's early education. Parents speak very positively of the care and education their children receive.
