Marsh Hill Nursery School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 6 February 2024

Staff care for children exceptionally well. Parents and carers value staff knowing their children so well. Children develop warm, trusting relationships with staff. Such relationships are also evident between staff and parents. Parents appreciate this aspect of Marsh Hill. Staff help children to settle quickly into their learning and play. Children respond willingly to routines and expectations. At the start of each session, children know that they need to take their coats off and choose activities that interest them. They do this with confidence and independence. Children relish their learning, both inside and out. They learn in safe environments. Staff encourage children to follow their own curiosities. All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), experience a wide range of specific and purposeful activities. Every adult is an expert at knowing what is needed, when and just how much to help each child to behave and achieve well. Staff challenge children effectively. They know when to interact with a child and when not to. Staff encourage children to come up with their own ideas and reflect on new experiences. They do this with skill and success.
