Ronald Tree Nursery School

Activities: Children’s personal and social development, their knowledge of the world, curiosity, creativity and independence is very well supported through the range of activities provided.

Staff Training: All staff have been well trained to develop and extend these skills.

Welcoming and Professional Staff: Children make very strong relationships with their keyworkers and so feel very safe and confident to learn.

Safeguarding Training: The school's policies and practices relating to safeguarding are met.

Play and Learning Integration: They learn to play together very well indeed because of the exciting things they have to do indoors and outdoors.

Transition to Primary School: Parents say their children love coming to the Nursery and praise the progress their children make. They are confident in the ways the children are prepared for their next school.

Diversity Management: Children for whom English is an additional language make rapid progress in their speaking and listening because staff sensitively encourage them to try out their English and build their confidence very well.

Child Safety Management: Children move around the different activities with good attention to safety, for example carrying things very carefully and responding immediately when their teachers warn them of a hazard.
