Following our July 2023 Ofsted inspection the school was judged as outstanding.
Children have a wonderful time at York Road Nursery School. They are safe and happy
because caring staff pay close attention to children’s individual needs.
Every child gets the support they need to thrive. Children have extensive opportunities to
explore natural environments , including through forest school . Children quickly become
confident communicators. They sustain focus on highly engaging activities. They have a
vast range of real experiences , to help them to understand the world . This includes visits
from beekeepers and firefighters which help them develop a deep understanding of
learning and prepares them very well for primary school.
Children make highly positive choices to resolve any disagreements. Staff are trained so
they can better support children to manage their emotions. Children quickly learn to treat
each other with tolerance and respect. They share take turns and proactively include
each other in their play.
Children develop a rich spiritual and cultural understanding by celebrating a wide range of
different festivals. Children recently got to experience different foods and types of dress
as part of this.
