Slough Centre Nursery School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 July 2025

Slough Centre Nursery School is a warm, inclusive community where children get a great start to their education. As soon as children enter the nursery each day, they start playing and exploring. The school has exceptionally high expectations of every child. This includes children in 'Daisies class', the specially resourced provision for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Children are taught how to concentrate for sustained periods of time. As a result, they focus intently on activities. They are typically engrossed in learning, and they achieve highly. The school has a deeply embedded culture of kindness and professionalism which underpins every aspect of its work. Staff believe in children and have high expectations of what they achieve. As a result, children are exceptionally well prepared for their transition to Reception. Children's behaviour is consistently excellent. The school works closely with parents and carers so that children transition successfully into the nursery. Staff understand children's needs very well. They help them to learn the school's daily routines. Children are taught how to take turns and love playing with their friends. They are empowered to say 'Stop it, I don't like it' on the rare occasions when anyone does something unkind.
