Some aspects not as strong Inspected 1 April 2025
Strengths
- “Edith Cadbury Nursery offers a warm and friendly welcome to all.”
- “The pleasant environment is calm and purposeful, which enables children to settle quickly.”
- “Children are happy and confident.”
To improve
- “However, some children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) do not have the specific targets set to meet their stage of development or individual needs.”
- “This means that adults are not clear about the focus for their learning or precise enough about the learning opportunities they offer.”
- “However, the school does not ensure that the specific support some children require is clearly communicated to staff.”
