What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 26 April 2023

Selly Oak Nursery School is a very happy place, full of excited children who love to learn. This is because leaders and other adults have consistently high expectations of what children can achieve and how they should behave. Children need only occasional reminders of how to treat others. Children learn about their rights, such as the right to play and the right to shelter, and why these are important. Through well-established routines and songs, such as the 'tidy- up song', children learn about taking responsibility. The exciting environment fills children with wonder at the world around them. In the forest school, children hunt for minibeasts and build dens. Children love observing the chicks and caterpillars brought into school to enrich the curriculum. Visits to the theatre and musical performances broaden children's horizons, both culturally and socially. Leaders see the school as central to the community. All members of the school community embrace the school's vision. As one parent said, 'I cannot fault the school'.
