What it is like to attend
Staff create a warm and welcoming environment. Children separate from carers well and quickly settle into their day. Across the nursery, children form strong, nurturing bonds with staff. Staff act as positive role models and have high expectations for children's behaviour. They focus on helping children to form positive relationships and develop their social skills. They are gentle and kind with children when they are upset. Children benefit from a supportive environment where they feel emotionally secure. Children enjoy daily yoga sessions, which helps them relax and learn how to regulate their emotions.
The daily routine supports children to develop independence skills. Children are taught to be responsible for their belongings, serve themselves food and pour their own drinks. This helps to prepare them for their next stage of learning.
Children benefit from a well-resourced outdoor area and have daily access to fresh air. Older children enjoy eating their snacks and lunch in the outdoors, and during the summer months, younger children nap in the garden. This provides a calm and restful atmosphere. Staff are responsive to children's interests. For example, they have added large construction materials to extend learning and support imaginative play.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff in recognising when quieter or less confident children need encouragement to engage in learning experiences n review and improve daily routines to reduce unnecessarily long waiting periods for children.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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