Sheringham Nursery School & Children's Centre

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 22 May 2024

The children and their families are at the heart of this school. Children confidently welcome visitors and invite them to share a book or join in their activities. Families value the wealth of support and advice that is provided. This helps them and their children to overcome barriers so that children can thrive. Everyone is incredibly proud to be part of the Sheringham Nursery School community. High expectations permeate throughout the school. There are no limits placed on what children can achieve, including for the high proportion of children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Children engage in a multitude of exciting activities with a sense of purpose and determination. They are curious, inquisitive and keen to learn. Children relish the ambitious opportunities available to them. For example, staff support children in using knives and food cutters to prepare and eat their own snacks. At the woodwork bench, children independently access and use hammers and nails to create their own models. Relationships between children and their key person are strong. Children are kept safe and trust the adults around them. Adults are positive role models. They expertly support children's social and emotional development through helping children to express themselves, listen to others, and ultimately understand their emotions and those of others. This helps children to get better at managing for themselves how they behave and react in different situations. Children leave this provision very well prepared for the next stages of their education.
