What it is like to attend
Children enjoy the time they spend at this nurturing and vibrant nursery. They are greeted warmly on arrival by friendly staff. This ensures that all children feel welcome. Children and staff have positive relationships. For example, staff cuddle children and say 'well done' when they achieve a task. Children also build friendships with their peers. Staff encourage children to work together to achieve a task. They spend time working as a team to find different items in the garden by the sound that the item begins with.
Children behave well. They enjoy learning opportunities. Older children spend time using the 'green screen' to record the story of the 'bear hunt'. They enjoy watching the movie they have created. Children spend time recalling different parts of the story. This supports them to learn about the use of technology and provides opportunities for them to develop their memory and recall skills. The curriculum is well embedded within the nursery and challenges children. There is a clear progression. For example, younger children have opportunities to listen to number songs, such as 'five speckled frogs'. Whereas older children spend time learning about different mathematical concepts, such as 'big' and 'small'.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- plan more effectively to ensure activities are structured to ensure that children have time to think about what has been said.

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.
