What it is like to attend
Leaders have developed an engaging and vibrant nursery, which positively supports staff and children's well-being. Children feel safe and secure. They confidently enter the nursery with big smiles and are excited to play with their friends. During the day, older children seek out their key person to help them with activities. For example, they ask for help to thread the pasta onto ribbons. Younger children cuddle their key person for reassurance when they are feeling sad. This shows that an effective key-person system is in place. Staff set high expectations for children.
Since attending recent training on supporting children's behaviour, leaders have made this a key focus of the curriculum. In the main, staff support children to understand their feelings. For example, as children explore the book 'The Colour
Monster', they talk about what makes them feel happy or sad. Staff are positive role models. They gently support children with their turn-taking skills and help them to resolve conflicts. Overall, children behave well and develop kind attitudes towards others.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to implement the curriculum effectively and consistently at all times to continuously build on what children know and can do.

What to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- Is £59.00 a day still the rate? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
