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 3 concerns about this setting. That means something was raised and Ofsted acted on it. It does not by itself say what was found — the documents do.

What it is like to attend

Children attending the nursery are confident and highly independent individuals.

They relish every opportunity to have a go at doing things for themselves. For instance, babies wipe their noses with adult support and feed themselves using spoons. Young children know exactly what is going to happen next, which gives them a sense of security and helps them to feel safe. For example, when staff ask children's permission to change their nappies, children respond by smiling and walking to the changing area. Children understand what is expected of them. They behave well, wait patiently to take turns and share resources with each other.

Children make good progress in their learning. Staff identify children's interests and what they need to learn next. This helps them to plan the learning experiences that they provide. Children enjoy creative activities, such as painting and drawing. They show excellent control when using scissors and are able to cut simple shapes.

What Ofsted told them to improve

To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:

- strengthen staff's understanding of how to introduce new concepts and ideas that are age-appropriate n ensure that all staff check on children's understanding to build on their prior learning. Preschool

Before you ring

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.
