What it is like to attend
The setting has implemented a rich and varied curriculum that gives children the essential knowledge they need for the next stage in learning. Leaders have a clear vision for the setting and aim to ensure that children are confident, happy, independent and resilient learners. Staff plan a range of learning experiences to support children's development, and they monitor and assess this effectively.
Children participate in a broad range of learning opportunities, inside and outside.
Children progress well in their physical development. They enjoy playing outside in any weather, confidently running, jumping, balancing and hopping. Older children practise fine motor skills by holding pencils correctly, writing their names and using scissors to cut out pictures. Staff guide children on how to hold scissors properly and remind them to use them carefully. Children learn to choose the right scissors for their dominant hand. For example, they say, 'I need the green and yellow ones,
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to understand the impact of background distractions to provide children with a learning environment that supports their speech development n allow children further opportunities to follow their ideas and use their creativity to guide their own learning n strengthen the mentoring and coaching of all staff to recognise when children are not fully engaged and require additional support to redirect their learning.

Still missing for Angel Day Nursery
- Nappies
- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £81.25 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.
- 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.
