Strengths

• “West Heath Nursery School is a welcoming place to learn.”
• “Children settle into school quickly because they are well supported by adults.”
• “The mission statement ‘nurturing happy minds’ is reflected in the ethos of the school.”

To improve

• “However, the curriculum design is sometimes not clear about the key knowledge that children need to learn and remember, and therefore the best activity to be selected.”
• “As a consequence, a few staff are less clear about interpreting the curriculum and how it should be taught.”
• “The school knows it needs to refine the curriculum.”

Safeguarding: Effective
