Strengths
- “Children are happy at Woodfield Nursery School.”
- “They arrive full of enthusiasm and confidently say goodbye to their parents and carers.”
- “The school’s vision, ‘helping every star to shine’, is at the heart of everything that this school does.”
To improve
- “However, at times important knowledge that children need to learn is not revisited or reinforced.”
- “This means that some children do not deepen their knowledge as well as they could.”
- “However, in a small number of areas, staff are not as clear on what children do and do not know.”
