What it is like to attend
Since the last inspection there have been several improvements made. Leaders and managers have worked hard to drive the required improvements within the nursery. Staff have a clear understanding of what they want children to learn. They plan a relevant curriculum that meets the individual needs of the children. As a result, all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities
(SEND) are making good progress in their learning.
Staff are kind and caring and give children the cuddles and reassurance they need.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- allow children time to think and respond to the questions they are asked n encourage children to complete tasks they are capable of doing to further develop their independence.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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