Purley Nursery School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 14 November 2023

Purley Nursery is a happy and welcoming school. Staff share a heartfelt commitment to ensuring children get the best possible start to their education. This ambition is realised. The motto of 'achieving and growing together' is embodied by children and staff each day. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the school. They feel well informed and know who to go to if they have any concerns. Purley Nursery provides children with a calm and purposeful space, where routines are well established and consistently reinforced. Children behave well during both focus sessions and at other times. They are kind and considerate, engage positively and play very well together. Children are kept safe at school. The curriculum is ambitious and well designed. Learning, both inside and beyond the classroom, is meaningful. Children enjoy climbing, riding the bikes and growing their own vegetables to cook. In the forest school, children experience an array of opportunities to sing songs, toast marshmallows and become immersed in the world around them. Everyone is focused on helping children to become confident and independent. For example, children experience their local community by visiting the shops, cafes and library. They learn about road safety when going out. Children's experience at Purley Nursery prepares them exceptionally well for the next stage of their education.
