Ofsted’s findings include:
“Children thoroughly enjoy attending this remarkable school. They engage in a broad range of exciting learning experiences. The extensive outdoor environment evokes awe
and wonder in children as they become completely absorbed in their learning. ….. children have thoughtful discussions with their friends as they play together
under the trees. They use their well-developed creativity and problem-solving skills to transport sticks and rocks in wheelbarrows to build a house and to design their own
maps. Children challenge themselves to climb, slide and run up steep banks. The develop high levels of confidence and become fiercely independent at this school.”“Leaders get ongoing support and training to ensure that their knowledge and expertise continue to strengthen over time … Staff meticulously identify any gaps in children’s knowledge … Children’s communication and language development is promoted exceptionally well …”
These comments reflect what we already know: that Kendal Nursery is a place where children flourish, curiosity is nurtured, and learning is joyful.
(Ofsted’s previous inspection in October 2019 also praised us, calling the curriculum “excellent” and acknowledged how well staff understand children’s development.) Ofsted Reports+1
