From the inspection on 4 July 2024

Seaham Harbour Nursery School provides children with a wonderful start to their educational journey. It is a happy, welcoming place in which to learn. Children feel safe and valued here. Parents and carers appreciate the care and support that the school gives to their children. Children are taught to be independent. They explore their thoughts and ideas through play. Children develop positive learning attitudes for the future. All staff share the same vision for excellence. They put children's learning at the centre of all that happens. They are determined to ensure that children fulfil their individual potential. This determination is realised. The curriculum is carefully planned to help all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make exceptional progress. Children develop the curiosity and courage to explore and talk about their learning. The school helps children learn to play together harmoniously. Through carefully planned activities, children learn about kindness and sharing. Staff model gentle, caring behaviour. This leads to children helping each other. Falling out is rare. The school is proud of children's regular attendance. Parents feel secure in the knowledge that their children love going to Seaham Harbour Nursery. One parent said that their child is 'disappointed when they can't go to nursery because it is the weekend'.
