What it is like to attend
Children are active and motivated learners. They have access to a wide variety of toys and resources that reflect the rich diversity of the setting. For example, through multi-cultural toys and books, children develop an awareness of similarities and differences between people. Children show that they feel safe and secure at the nursery. They move around the indoor and outdoor areas freely and happily.
Children develop close attachments with staff, who are kind, caring and approachable. Staff give children lots of praise and encouragement that supports children's emotional well-being effectively.
Children are eager to show their skills. For example, on arrival, they locate their name card and place it on a board, indicating how they are feeling. Children's feelings and emotions are recognised as they are given opportunities to discuss how they are feeling. They are highly creative and rise to challenges set by the staff. Children paint intricate pictures of real fruit and are very proud of their creations. They also have great fun as they manipulate dough by squashing, squeezing and rolling it. This helps to promote their small muscles in readiness for developing further skills, such as pencil control.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- gather more detailed information from parents about their children's starting points on entry, to further inform the initial assessment and planning of learning from the outset n review the organisation and structure of group times to take into consideration the age ranges and individual needs of the children present, to enhance learning opportunities to the highest level.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
