Strengths
- “At Wallace Road Nursery School, children arrive to a warm welcome from staff who know them well and their individual needs.”
- “They often stop to look at them and talk with staff about their families and home experiences.”
- “This helps them feel safe and valued, and strengthens their sense of belonging.”
To improve
- “In play, a few children do not always benefit from interactions that build on earlier learning.”
- “At times, adults are not clear about the knowledge, vocabulary and skills they want children to learn because some parts of the curriculum are not precise enough.”
- “As a result, these children do not have enough opportunities to revisit and practise key knowledge in readiness for their next stage of learning.”
