What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 March 2023
Children in Tenterfield Nursery School are taught the knowledge, values and skills they need to thrive. Their daily routines are well established. These support them to be independent and confident. Belonging to their key groups helps children develop strong connections with adults and other children. This provides a secure foundation to help them explore and learn. Children live up to the high ambitions adults have for them. This includes children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Children are consistently absorbed in activity as they put their knowledge into action. The learning environment is orderly and purposeful. Children at every stage cooperate well together. They manage their feelings with impressive independence. Consequently, they are safe, happy and relaxed. They know that if another child chooses to be unkind, adults will help to quickly fix it. Children are exposed to important vocabulary in their daily learning. This contributes significantly to their early language development. Children are routinely encouraged to use verbal communication to share their ideas. This includes exploring social issues in an age-appropriate manner, such as looking after the planet. As a result, children are best prepared for the new learning challenges of primary school.
