What it is like to attend
Children are happy and settled. They form close attachments to staff who are kind, caring and attentive to children's individual needs. Children of all ages independently explore the well-resourced indoor and outdoor environment. They show a positive attitude to learning engaging with everything that is on offer to them. Children show kindness and consideration to their friends. They share and take turns, playing cooperatively with the toys and resources. They are polite and well mannered, remembering to say 'please' and 'thank you' when needed.
Pre-school children show curiosity as they join in with making bird food to put in the bird feeders in the garden. They develop mathematical skills as they fill and empty containers, estimating which one has more or less bird food in. Toddler children enjoy using their imaginations as they run around the playground and hide in the playhouse, pretending to hide from the wolf from 'The Three Little Pigs'.
Babies enjoy joining in with action rhymes and songs. They giggle with delight as they excitedly point to the different parts of their body when staff sing the song.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- extend some adult-led activities to ensure children have enough space to fully join in to further extend and challenge their learning n gather more detailed information about children's starting points from parents when children first start at the nursery to further inform the initial assessment and planning for children's learning from the outset.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £60.00 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.
