Strengths
- “Earlham Nursery School is an inclusive, welcoming place.”
- “Warm, positive relationships between staff, children and families mean children settle well and generally attend regularly.”
- “Children feel safe and happily explore the natural elements in the large outdoor area.”
To improve
- “During less structured times, confident, chatty children receive help from staff readily, while some children who need support to extend their learning do not receive this in the timeliest way.”
- “Teaching of early mathematics and assessment systems are not yet fully established.”
- “For some children, these things limit them in developing secure foundations in readiness for future learning.”
