Somerset Nursery School and Children's Centre

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 24 May 2023

Children flourish in this school. They arrive happily each day, ready to enjoy the well- planned activities on offer. Children are taught the knowledge, values and skills they need to thrive. Daily routines are well established. Adults look after children very well. There are warm and positive working relationships throughout the school. Adults have high expectations of what all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), can achieve. Leaders ensure that there is a strong focus on language development. This supports children to be independent and confident. Children are encouraged to talk with confidence about how they are feeling and what they are learning. They enjoy listening to and performing familiar rhymes and stories. 'Story time' is very popular. The indoor and outside learning environment is superbly organised. This promotes children's independence strongly. For example, children can find all the resources they need to investigate, explore and play. Children settle into school quickly and they behave exceptionally well. They get along well with each other and are happy to share and take turns. Leaders promote a positive partnership with parents and carers who spoke highly of the school. They appreciated the care and support their children receive here.
