Strengths

• “Children are happy and settled at this vibrant nursery school.”
• “Staff care deeply for children and get to know them well.”
• “They help children to understand emotions so that they can learn how to manage their own feelings.”

To improve

• “Nonetheless, at times, some staff do not implement the curriculum or adapt learning activities consistently well to help children to learn as effectively as they could.”
• “However, occasionally, staff’s interactions with children are not fully effective.”
• “This limits how well some children build their knowledge and their understanding of new vocabulary.”
