Whitnash Nursery School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 March 2023

Leaders and governors say that Whitnash Nursery School 'recognises and values the uniqueness of every child'. They are absolutely right. Staff are proud to work here and share a passion for providing every child with an excellent start to education. Parents and carers greatly appreciate the commitment of staff, how they care for children and how they 'go above and beyond' what is needed. Staff focus extensively on children's emotional health and well-being. As a result, children love to come to school, are happy, and enjoy the exciting activities they do. All adults at Whitnash have high expectations of what all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) can achieve. They get to know each child very well and meticulously plan activities to help them learn. Despite being so young, children at this school are developing into independent, confident and resilient learners. They are very well prepared for their next school. Children behave well. If there is any unkindness or poor behaviour, adults are skilled in helping children to understand and resolve problems. The school is a calm and highly purposeful learning environment. Bullying is not tolerated. Staff are quick to notice and analyse behaviours which indicate bullying might occur. This is highly effective in minimising such incidences.
