What it is like to attend
Children are very happy to attend nursery and separate easily from their parents.
They are keen to see staff and their peers and settle quickly into the exciting learning opportunities that staff provide for them. Relationships between staff and children are strong. Children enjoy cuddles during the day and involve staff in their play. This shows that they feel safe and secure in nursery. Staff plan an exciting curriculum that enhances children's learning and they encourage children to share their own ideas. This encourages children to feel valued and included. Staff support children's language and communication skills well. They continually introduce new language and build on what children already know. Young children use language such as 'squishy' and 'soft' as they explore how moon sand feels. Older children listen carefully to instructions when playing 'Simple Simon' and giggle as they shrug their shoulders, tap their elbows and touch their toes.
Children develop independence from an early age. They understand that they need to wash their hands to get rid of the germs before eating their meals and after messy play. Children show kindness and consideration towards their friends and their behaviour is good. They learn the importance of sharing and taking turns and staff praise children when they do so. This builds children's confidence and selfesteem. Staff support the older children as they develop their negotiation skills and learn to resolve minor disagreements between themselves. This helps children to build life skills as they prepare for the move on to school.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- take steps to ensure that children are not interrupted when they are engrossed in activities so that they gain the most from their learning.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £70.00 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.
