Strengths
- “Children love to learn at South Normanton Nursery School.”
- “They get started on their ‘learning adventure’ as soon as they arrive.”
- “Adults teach children to consider how their friends might be feeling.”
To improve
- “This work is not yet complete.”
- “However, sometimes children do not get the chance to explain their ideas fully, or to practise the rich vocabulary that they have been learning.”
- “Where the small steps of learning are not as clearly defined in the curriculum, the activities and support that children get are not matched with the same degree of precision.”
