Strengths
- “Children at Goodway Nursery School get off to an excellent start and receive a wonderful early years education.”
- “They settle quickly in a nurturing environment where they soon thrive.”
- “Children arrive happily in the morning.”
To improve
- “There are times when some children find it more difficult to regulate their behaviour and emotions.”
- “However, the way this information is shared and analysed is not as effective as it could be in enabling the school to identify triggers or reasons.”
- “The school recognises that some other approaches they use to analyse the impact of their actions, such as for attendance, could also be further enhanced to ensure children are supported by the most effective strategies.”
