What it is like to attend
Children are cared for with warmth, kindness and respect by staff at this welcoming nursery. The whole staff team gets to know children and their families extremely well. This helps staff to ensure that children's individual needs are met effectively.
Children who have recently started receive plenty of support to help them to settle.
Additionally, staff provide extra sessions for children who need more time to feel secure in the nursery. When children move to the next room, or on to school, they are well prepared for this. This is because staff have a clear understanding of what they want children to learn to help them to be ready for the next stage of their learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- consider ways to develop lunchtime arrangements for the older children, so that they understand what is expected of them and have even more opportunities to develop their independence.

Still missing for Bright Skies Nursery
- Youngest age taken
- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- Is £51.00 a day still the rate? 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.
