What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 13 September 2023

Children get off to a great start to their education at Madeley Nursery School. Leaders are highly ambitious for all children. They offer an exciting child-centred, creative approach to learning for every child. Learning is fun, with time for reflection, including daily opportunities for meditation and outdoor activities. Children enjoy opportunities to work with expert gardeners to grow fruit and vegetables in the school garden. During walks to explore the local community, children find out about people who help them. Such opportunities help children to excel in all aspects of school life. Children's behaviour is exemplary, despite some only having attended for a very short time. The early days in school are well organised and children adapt to routines very quickly. Staff set clear expectations. Children live up to these expectations and behave well. Children show consistently high levels of respect and care towards each other. They are kind to one another. They are highly motivated and focused on their learning. Children are happy and safe. Leaders establish positive relationships with parents right from the start. They make sure that open and effective discussions take place. Parents are very happy with the quality of education and care that their children receive.
