Strengths

• “Parents and carers overwhelmingly praise the care offered to their children at Ethelred Nursery.”
• “Staff support children to enter school calmly at the start of the day so that they happily join in with a range of different activities.”
• “Children are kept safe and can name a member of staff who would support them if they were worried about anything.”

To improve

• “Attendance is improving gradually year on year, but leaders know that it still needs to be worked on.”
• “Staff’s knowledge of the curriculum and their use of it to inform teaching and learning needs further time to build and embed.”
• “However, in areas of the wider curriculum, teaching and learning are more variable.”
