Early Years Department Rated Excellent by ISI - Culford School Nursery

Recipient: Culford School Nursery

Date: Saturday 01 Nov 2014

Taken from the ISI Report 2015:

"Pupils benefit from specialist teaching in French, music, outdoor games, tennis,
gymnastics, ballet and swimming. The Early Years provision helps all children to reach their expected levels of development. The Pre-Prep prepares children effectively for the next stage in their learning, providing daily literacy and numeracy lessons, combined with a topic-based approach across the curriculum."

"In the Early Years careful planning of educational programmes to match individual
children’s needs enables most children to make excellent progress in the key areas
of learning, whatever their starting point. A rich variety of teaching strategies,
together with an effective balance of adult-led and child-initiated activity, allows
children to make independent choices. They play imaginatively and enjoy exploring.
They rise to the high expectations of the staff, who are skilled in motivating the
children to learn."

"Within the EYFS every opportunity is taken to inform parents of children’s progress, and staff actively welcome parental feedback."
