Strengths
- “At this friendly and diverse nursery school, relationships are nurtured.”
- “Children and their families are valued and well supported by the nursery staff.”
- “They settle well and learn the school’s routines quickly.”
To improve
- “It has revised its curriculum to meet this ambition, although not enough thought has been given to how the school develops children’s vocabulary over time.”
- “However, it has not fully considered how this vocabulary builds on what children know already or the new words that children need to learn as they progress through the school.”
- “Occasionally, children are asked to complete activities that do not match their stage of development.”
