Ronald Openshaw Nursery School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 10 May 2023

Children are really happy when they come to this nursery. They are warmly greeted by staff when they arrive. Children develop close bonds with the friendly and caring staff. Because of these close working relationships, staff get to know children's interests and areas for development well. Through a highly ambitious curriculum, adults skilfully guide children to broaden and develop these interests, enabling them to work with others and take risks. Children keenly explore the school's environment, both inside and out. Their development in each area of learning is exceptionally well supported. Children behave very well. They are engrossed in learning and playing. Clear routines and expectations have been set, and these are modelled and reinforced by adults throughout the day. For example, adults show children how to take turns reading a book. Children follow the routines well, and they are taught how this helps to make the nursery a happy place for everyone. Staff are attuned to children's emotions. They guide them to think about their feelings and the choices they make. For example, they take time to talk through with children how they are feeling. They encourage them to think about their actions and how these affect those around them. Children are taught to be respectful and supportive of each other, and this creates a calm and positive place for them to learn and thrive.
