Strengths
- “Children are eager to come to Hillside Nursery School.”
- “They are greeted warmly when they arrive each day and look forward to exploring the high-quality resources and activities that adults have prepared for them.”
- “They come into an environment where they feel safe and secure.”
To improve
- “However, a small number of areas of learning are less well developed than others.”
- “In the areas of learning that are slightly less well designed, the knowledge and the order that staff want children to learn new information is not as clear as it should be.”
- “Occasionally, this hinders some children from learning as well as they could.”
