Strengths
- “Children settle quickly into life at this friendly and welcoming nursery school.”
- “Staff encourage the children to have ‘kind hands’.”
- “Occasional disagreements are swiftly resolved as children learn to build friendships.”
To improve
- “However, the school’s curricular thinking is not always broken down into small enough steps.”
- “This means that, sometimes, children who need the most opportunities to practise new words do not get all the chances they need during less structured parts of the day.”
- “Occasionally, opportunities are missed to check that all children understand the vocabulary in a story.”
