What it is like to attend
Children happily leave their parents and carers on arrival. They confidently enter the nursery and settle quickly. The effective settling-in processes help new children to gain confidence and to feel safe and secure. As a result, children form positive and strong relationships with staff. Children greet staff with enthusiasm and enjoy spending time with them. Staff know the individual children well. They value children's individual backgrounds and include these during their time at the nursery. For example, staff invite families into the nursery to share special events, such as festivals and religious celebrations. Children generally behave well. They are beginning to learn about the behaviour expectations, including those that keep themselves and others safe.
Children benefit from interesting activities and resources. These capture their interest and engagement in their learning. Staff understand the learning intentions.
Overall, they provide interactions and support to children to implement these consistently. Staff identify gaps in children's learning and development and promptly take steps to help close these. This includes implementing individual educational plans to support children to catch up. Children who are learning English as an additional language receive good support. Staff gain key words in children's home languages to use with them. They use signing alongside words to develop children's understanding and support their communication. This promotes children's learning effectively, including children who need extra help in developing their language skills.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - continue to build on staff's knowledge and understanding of how to consistently implement the curriculum learning intentions to help extend children's skills and knowledge even further n extend children's awareness of how to keep themselves and others safe, such as through offering effective explanations or providing more guidance when appropriate.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- What does it cost, all in? 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.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
