What it is like to attend
Children settle quickly here, as staff know families and their routines well. Parents feel supported by staff and are happy to drop children off at the door. Children feel safe as they come in and look for their friends.
Babies enjoy exploring their environment, which staff have sensitively arranged.
For example, there are ramps of different heights to encourage babies to stand, crawl and balance to develop their core strength. They play peek a boo with staff as they develop socially.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- improve staff strategies to support children to understand how their behaviour can impact on others.

Still missing for Burton Day Nursery Ltd
- Nappies
- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £90.00 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.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
