What it is like to attend
Children enjoy their time at the nursery. They arrive happy and settle quickly with staff, who they are familiar with. Although parents no longer come into the nursery, staff talk to them each day about what their children do. The online system tells parents about their children's day and what they learn. Children feel safe and are confident, motivated learners. Behaviour is good because staff teach children simple rules. This helps children to understand about the consequences of their actions on others. Children form close relationships with their friends. They learn to share and cooperate well with each other.
Children's well-being is a strong feature in the nursery. The staff are kind and warm. They respond well to any minor distress that children may have. Children learn how to deal with their emotions as staff provide reassurance and comfort.
Children are learning to become independent in their own personal care. Staff gently remind them to wash their hands and cough into their sleeve. Children understand that this is to stop the spread of germs. The curriculum has a sharp focus on the skills children will need to be successful in their next stage of learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- consider the most effective ways of teaching throughout the day to ensure the best possible learning outcomes for children are consistently achieved.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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