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.”
