What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 5 November 2024

At The Lincoln St Giles Nursery School, relationships are always warm and caring. Adults ensure that all interactions with children are positive and affirming. Children quickly learn the school's code to 'be safe, be caring and be a good listener'. They know how to use their manners, and to be 'brave', 'proud' and to 'keep going' with their learning. The needs of every child, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are considered carefully and nurtured. As a result, children thrive in this safe and extremely supportive environment. The school is relentless in its drive to ensure that all children and their families are supported. Parents and carers appreciate this help because it shows them how to support their children at home. Children flourish because the curriculum they learn is focused on ensuring that they are well prepared for their next stage in schooling. An abundance of learning opportunities awaits the children outdoors. Well-thought-out activities help them to learn about the world. Attending agricultural events and visits from a beekeeper help children to learn about food produce. They enjoy trips to local landmarks, including Lincoln Castle, and learn about life cycles with Cluck Norris, the school's cockerel.
