What it is like to attend
Children are warmly greeted by enthusiastic staff as they arrive at the nursery.
Staff gather and make good use of information from home visits and discussions with parents to help new children to settle. Children develop strong and trusting bonds with staff. This helps them to feel safe, secure and confident to explore their new surroundings. Babies readily seek familiar staff for cuddles, who have their favourite toys ready.
Staff support children's good behaviour. Children feel safe and staff support them to learn the importance of being kind, sharing and taking turns. Children know that staff are there to help them if they feel sad or have any worries. Staff deal with any unwanted behaviour between children in a calm and sensitive manner.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- improve the organisation of some routines and activities to help support children's engagement more consistently n enhance the arrangements for providing targeted feedback to staff to help raise the quality of their practice to the highest level.

Still missing for Blooming Years Nursery Schools
- What it costs
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- 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.
