What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 5 March 2024

Newtown Nursery School is an exciting place to learn. Children arrive happily at school each day with smiles on their faces. They and their parents are greeted with warmth and kindness by staff. Children cannot wait to get involved in activities when they walk through the door. They relish the wealth of captivating things for them to do, both inside and outside. The school places great emphasis on knowing each child and understanding their individual needs. This results in a highly inclusive provision where everyone is valued. Staff take time to form strong relationships with each child and their families. As a result, all children flourish here. The school's vision statement, 'Newtown Nursery School is a place to nurture, inspire and shine', is very evident. Leaders are highly ambitious for what all children can learn and do. All activities have a clear learning purpose. For example, children learn songs and rhymes that become progressively more complex. This aids their communication and language. Children take turns talking and sharing thoughts in group activities. Children play and learn very well together. They learn the importance of rules and respect. Their behaviour is exemplary. They are exceptionally well prepared for primary school.
