An early start within a primary school defines the nursery provision at Costessey Primary School in Norwich. The school has nursery provision and a lower age of three. This places the nursery within a school setting, rather than identifying it as a separate childcare provider.
At the inspection on 27 and 28 June 2023, Ofsted graded the school's early years provision Good. That judgement covers early years within the school; it is not a separate nursery rating.
The curriculum begins in early years, with learning becoming more complex as children progress through the school. This gives the nursery's place within the school a clear educational context: early learning forms the starting point for what follows.
