What it is like to attend
Children are happy and settled at this vibrant and welcoming nursery. They develop close bonds with the caring staff and show that they feel very safe and secure. Babies confidently communicate their needs, for example, by using simple signs to show whether they want more or have finished. Older children eagerly include staff in their play and readily turn to them if they need help.
Children respond positively to the high expectations of staff. They are active, curious and keen learners. They become independent and confident in what they can do. Toddlers enthusiastically stack blocks to create towers. They display resilience and resolutely try again if their tower falls. Older children show a keen interest in literacy. They happily look at books independently and share stories with adults. Some children make very strong progress from their starting points. They become fluent readers and confident writers.
Children's behaviour is consistently good. They are friendly and sociable towards others and enjoy being independent and helpful. Babies begin to develop their own interests and make choices about their play. Toddlers confidently use cutlery at mealtimes and scrape their plates when they have finished. Older children take pride in having responsibilities, such as watering the nursery plants and cleaning up after play.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to improve the implementation of group activities, to ensure that they consistently engage children and provide appropriate levels of challenge
- help staff to strengthen their support for children's language skills, by introducing a wider range of vocabulary and encouraging children to use new words as they play.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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