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 inspector, 29 November 2023 · read the full report

What it is like to attend

Children are greeted warmly by staff and confidently settle into the routine of the nursery. Staff promote children's well-being. For example, as children arrive, staff encourage them to share how they are feeling using an emotions board. This gives staff the opportunity to understand children's behaviour to support and nurture them throughout the day. Staff have high expectations of children's behaviour.

They carefully encourage children to reflect on their actions to help them to regulate their behaviour. This helps children to feel safe and secure.

The manager and staff are passionate that all children receive a curriculum that helps them acquire the skills and knowledge they need before they start school.

What Ofsted told them to improve

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

- extend children's language and vocabulary skills further, such as through storytelling, songs and rhymes n consider the length of time children which sit after mealtimes so that they are quickly engaged in meaningful learning opportunities.

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.
