What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 March 2024
Weston Way Nursery provides a welcoming and nurturing environment for all children. The classrooms are well-designed and very appealing. Children happily take part in the well-planned activities. They know the routines well. Children navigate the whole environment with high levels of independence, considering their age. Children learn to communicate very well. This is important. It means that children can express themselves and tell the staff their wants and needs. This helps ensure that children are safe, and well supported. They develop their skills and knowledge in an inclusive environment. Children get along with each other exceptionally well. Staff have created well- considered areas inside and outside. These areas foster creativity, spark interest, and allow for imaginative play. Children are encouraged to problem-solve, which builds their resilience and confidence. Through the 'play and grow' sessions, children develop their understanding of the world around them. Many children love to be in the nature area. They can build dens, find and use natural materials to play with and run in the trees and grass. This supports their physical health and mental well-being. Children understand that keeping healthy is very important. Extra well-being sessions help children learn that moving their bodies can make them happier.
