What it is like to attend
Children receive a warm welcome on arrival. They have strong relationships with their key person. They feel safe and secure and settle quickly. Staff know all the children extremely well. They create quality learning experiences that link to children's specific interests and needs. For example, pre-school children are showing an interest in superheroes. Staff read the book 'Supertato' to expand children's understanding and development in literacy. Children behave well. They happily play alongside each other. Staff support them to talk about how they feel.
They learn to take turns, make their own choices, and regulate their own behaviour. Children feel valued and listened to.
Communication and language skills are well supported. Babies chuckle as they anticipate the action of the word 'go', rolling a ball to their key person. Toddlers recite the nursery rhyme 'the manager had a dolly' and explore props linked to this theme. Staff model new words, such as 'stethoscope' and 'tweezers'. The setting places a high priority on supporting a love of books. Children engage in regular story time sessions. They take their favourite books home to share with parents.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- review the curriculum in mathematics to ensure that all children have ample opportunities to learn in this area.

Still missing for ABC Day Nursery
- Youngest age taken
- Meals
- Waiting list
No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £38.00 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.
