Our Ofsted inspection
Comments from Ofsted
​
The Barn Nursery School was inspected in June 2025. Here are some of the Inspector's comments in the report:
​"A love for learning is clearly evident as they explore new experiences with creativity and flair. Children express a deep affection for staff and describe them as their 'best friends'. They build secure attachments and demonstrate a real sense of belonging."
​"Staff are excellent role models and treat all children with kindness and patience. This creates a truly respectful and harmonious environment, where children learn to value and care for one another."
​"Children display high levels of empathy and engage in positive social interactions. For example, older children offer toys to their younger peers and speak calmly to them."
​"The knowledgeable and committed leadership team is proactive and constantly strives to offer the best possible standards in care and education. It has created a sequenced and ambitious curriculum that prepares children well for their eventual move to school."
