Evesham Nursery School, Evesham

What is it like to attend this school?

Children are eager to come to Evesham Nursery School. They run and skip into school enthusiastically. They are keen to explore the exciting environment and range of high-quality resources that adults have prepared for them. Every child benefits from time in this magical place.

Children form warm relationships with the staff, especially their key persons. They settle quickly because effective routines are in place. This ensures that they are safe. Staff help children learn important self-care practices at the right time. For example, children learn how to use the potty and wash their hands independently.

What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?

Leaders and staff have worked together to create a carefully constructed curriculum. The school provides a coherent plan for children's progress, with clear, developmental milestones. The plan sets out what the school wants children to be able to do by the time they leave. The curriculum encourages children's curiosity. It widens children's experiences and understanding of the world around them. For example, children learn about the flowers in the meadow and work together to build sandcastles in the large sandpit.

The school's curriculum is being adapted to meet the diverse range of needs in the community. In some areas, the curriculum does not make clear enough the knowledge that children will learn. This means that staff are sometimes unclear about what they want children to learn in any particular session. The school knows that some subjects need to be refined further to ensure that the way learning is sequenced over time helps pupils to build securely on what they already know and can do.
