Seaview Nursery School

Overview

Seaview Nursery School is described as a “reflective, inclusive setting” where children “flourish” through nurturing relationships and purposeful challenge. The school’s vision to “develop a love for life and learning” is clearly embedded, supported by strong partnerships with families and the wider community.

Strengths

• Staff model language effectively and create environments that promote “conversation, curiosity and enjoyment.”
• Children demonstrate high levels of independence, confidence, and engage in “focussed, concentrated play.”
• The school fosters a “vibrant learning community” through meaningful collaboration with local businesses and organisations.
• Communication with families is inclusive, utilising translated materials and digital strategies to support parental understanding.
• The school actively engages in the “Being Well, Doing Well” programme, supporting children’s physical development and well-being.

Areas to improve

• Staff must review induction arrangements to ensure children’s attendance aligns with Department of Education guidance, as not all children are yet attending full-time.
• The school should “develop further the outdoor learning opportunities across the curriculum.”

Safeguarding

The report states that “arrangements for child protection align to the current statutory guidance.”
