What the inspector found

One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

Ofsted has looked into a concern about this setting. That means something was raised and Ofsted acted on it. It does not by itself say what was found — the document does.

What it is like to attend

Children and babies are very happy, safe and content at this inclusive, warm and welcoming nursery. Children form extremely close bonds with staff, who provide the children with excellent care as they sensitively anticipate and attend to their needs with warmth and understanding. Children's interests and love of learning are at the heart of every decision staff make. Children thoroughly enjoy exploring the inspiring creative spaces that capture their interests. Children are engrossed in activities and resources that successfully promote all areas of learning.

Babies delight as they join in with music, singing songs, babbling and shaking instruments that staff provide. Toddlers demonstrate excellent balance and coordination as they climb up the frame and slide down the slide. Children are exceptionally well behaved. They play cooperatively and understand rules that staff implement that promote sharing and safety. When playing with wheeled toys in the outside play area, children ask their friends if they can have a turn. Children understand sometimes they must wait for a turn. They use a sand timer and willingly swap when the sand runs out. Children delight in story time. They demonstrate excellent communication skills as they discuss books read by staff at story time. Staff challenge children's thinking and support their problem-solving skills. This helps children become confident speakers who can tell their own stories.

Children show high levels and determination and independence from an early age.

What to ask them

None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.

  • What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
  • Can I use my funded hours here? 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.
