Warwick Nursery School

Overview

Warwick Nursery School continues to be a good school, providing a calm environment where children behave exceptionally well and feel safe. Staff maintain high expectations, ensuring children achieve well through engaging activities that promote confidence and curiosity. Strong relationships with families and the community underpin the nursery’s effective provision.

Strengths

• Children are happy and feel safe, with staff quickly identifying those needing help or quiet time.
• Communication and language skills are strongly promoted, helping children of all ages speak with confidence.
• Early reading is encouraged across all areas, including an outdoor ‘book nook’ and construction zone.
• Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are identified quickly and receive tailored support.
• Governors are ambitious and supportive, ensuring staff feel appreciated and valued.

Areas to improve

• The curriculum must identify precise knowledge and skills for different development ages, as some adult-led activities do not move learning on enough.
• Leaders and staff need a better understanding of the changing local community to personalise the curriculum and tailor staff training effectively.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
