Cherry Trees Nursery School was graded ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted in November 2024.

The report highlights “The school’s curriculum is meticulously designed. It sets out clearly and in some detail what children will learn, from the moment they join the school. This enables staff to set highly purposeful learning activities. Everything children do is intended to help them learn well. “ Ofsted 2024

Over two days the inspectors observed group times, breakfast club, lunchtime and free flow sessions in the nursery and commented:

“Children make a fantastic start to their education at Cherry Trees Nursery School. They learn and play happily in the school’s stimulating environments. The school community is diverse.  The school celebrates this diversity and weaves it into its rich curriculum.”  Ofsted 2024

The inspectors also spoke to children and parents throughout the inspection

“The school is ambitious for children to achieve well, regardless of their starting points. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), and those in the early stages of language acquisition, are very well supported. Children rise to the school’s high expectations. They are extremely well prepared for moving on to their next school by the time they leave Cherry Trees..’  Ofsted 2024

“Children have extremely positive attitudes. They help each other and work together to solve a problem. Children concentrate and persevere, sometimes for prolonged periods.”.   Ofsted 2024
