St Edmund's Nursery School & Children's Centre

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 October 2024

The school's exceptional work to engage and include families creates a strong and harmonious sense of community. Each child and adult is valued, feels safe and can be successful. The close work with families means that parents can contribute to the school's work to educate their children and keep them safe. The day starts with a warm welcome by name, a 'hello' or handshake, and sets the scene for the kind and friendly routines that follow throughout the day. These strong relationships, and the trust created by them, are excellent foundations to ensure learning for all. Children go busily about their work and play, quickly developing basic skills and learning about the world around them. Staff work alongside children, helping them develop their language and communication at every opportunity. Staff help children to understand their feelings and the feelings of others. Learning continues at snack and lunchtime. Children help to set the table, serve the food and learn good table manners. As a result of well- planned learning opportunities and strong interactions between adults and children, children achieve well and are well prepared for primary school.
