Strengths
- “Children love attending this nursery and arrive with big smiles on their faces.”
- “At the beginning of each session, they excitedly share their news with known adults.”
- “Each day begins with children taking part in their ‘daily affirmations’, which prepares them for the day ahead.”
To improve
- “However, not all staff are as confident in delivering the specific areas of learning, such as literacy and mathematics, where the curriculum has recently been updated.”
- “As a result, not all children achieve as well as they could in some of the specific areas, as the support they receive is not quite of the same high quality.”
