Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

This nursery excels at preparing children for their nursery experience, with parents very pleased with the settling arrangements. Staff create a warm, caring environment where children from different backgrounds learn and play together happily. Teaching activities are thoughtfully planned and well-resourced, helping all children make good progress and develop positive attitudes to learning.

Key Strengths

  • Excellent arrangements to prepare children for nursery help them settle quickly and happily
  • Warm and caring relationships between staff, parents, and children support good progress
  • Teaching is good with carefully planned and well-resourced learning activities that stimulate children
  • Regular assessments track each child's progress to ensure they make at least good progress
  • Children behave well due to high adult expectations established from day one

Areas for Improvement

  • Adults do not always use assessment information precisely enough when planning activities for mixed-ability groups, so different needs and abilities are not always addressed well enough
  • Not all adults consistently ensure every child is listening, looking and taking part during group learning situations

Safeguarding

Safeguarding arrangements are thorough and effective, with all personnel suitably checked, risk assessments regularly developed, and the building and surroundings kept secure.

Highters Heath Nursery School is a good school that provides excellent preparation for children entering nursery and maintains warm, caring relationships between staff, parents, and children. The school has maintained its good rating since the previous inspection.
