What This School Does Well
Windsor Nursery School excels at supporting children with additional needs and working closely with parents as true partners in their child's learning. Staff create strong, caring relationships with children and promote independence well. The school sets high expectations and most children settle well and behave appropriately.
Key Strengths
- Excellent support for children with special educational needs and disabilities, with swift identification and effective engagement with external professionals
- Strong relationships between adults and children, with high expectations for behaviour and achievement
- Effective partnership with parents through workshops, home visits, and stay-and-play sessions
- Children develop independence and good personal care skills, such as managing hygiene and selecting activities
Areas for Improvement
- Curriculum does not clearly identify the precise knowledge, skills and vocabulary children need to learn, especially in reading and mathematics
- Teaching lacks consistency in how knowledge is delivered and builds on prior learning
- Limited focus on developing children's communication and language skills through purposeful activities
- Governance oversight is not sufficiently rigorous, and recruitment systems lack robust scrutiny
Safeguarding
Safeguarding arrangements are effective, but scrutiny of recruitment systems is not sufficiently robust to ensure all checks and records are properly maintained.
Extracurricular Activities
mud kitchen, sand play, reading den
Windsor Nursery School works effectively with parents and has strong safeguarding arrangements, but evidence suggests some aspects of the school's work may not be as strong as at the previous inspection. The school will receive a graded inspection next time.
