What it is like to attend
All children happily arrive to the welcoming nursery and are greeted by familiar staff. Children settle quickly and feel confident to explore their surroundings immediately. They make choices in their play and create their own tasks. For example, children view photos on the wall of prior learning. They remember this learning and repeat making patterns with small wooden parts. Babies show high levels of curiosity during their play. Staff help them to blow bubbles into the air and talk about the texture of warm foamy water as they 'drip, drip, drip' it onto their hands. This helps to develop their sensory awareness and builds on their early language skills.
Children are kind to each other and consistently adhere to expected boundaries in the nursery. They confidently discuss the 'golden rules' with the inspector and know how to treat their peers with respect. Children are independent and know how to care for themselves, such as washing their hands and brushing their teeth.
Babies have a go at feeding themselves. They are and are highly praised when they achieve new goals, such as taking their first steps around the room. Older children know how to play safely. They tell the inspector, 'We can only play on the pirate ship when it is sunny, not when it rains because it will be slippy.'
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen the monitoring and support systems to ensure that all staff can embed their knowledge into practice effectively, right from the start n expose all children to a consistently ambitious curriculum that helps to meet all their individual needs and interests n provide clarity on children's learning for all parents, enabling them to know how and why to extend this at home.

Still missing for Ashworth View Nursery
- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £73.50 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.
