What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 May 2023
A warm, welcoming smile greets children as they arrive at Walbrook. It is a place where everyone works in harmony to help every child get the best possible start to early education. Individuality and uniqueness are celebrated. Parents and carers overwhelmingly agree that it is a great place for their child to learn and develop. Children play well together. They chat excitedly about special times they have celebrated. When they find it tricky to communicate or explain their ideas, adults seamlessly model the words in the child's home language and in English. Children who have been at nursery longest support their peers to play and work together. They help them to live out the nursery's 'Fab 5' rules. When minor disagreements happen, adults help children to empathise, talk about emotions and develop strategies for next time. Celebrations, including for His Majesty The King's coronation and theatre visits, are shared with older siblings. These are held at the school that many of these children will attend in the future. This prepares them well for transition into school. Children learn about different communities that exist in modern society. They learn about different viewpoints, including ones that dispel stereotypes.
