What it is like to attend
Children arrive happy and excited for their day at nursery, welcomed by the kind and nurturing team. Newer children settle quickly and seek comfort from their trusted adults, showing that they feel safe. The nursery helps children develop their communication and language skills continually. They babble along with babies and help them learn the meaning of their first words. All children hear words pronounced clearly and concisely and learn to speak correctly from the outset. The nursery ensures that children are exposed to a vivid vocabulary through songs, stories and broad and exciting topics within the well-sequenced and challenging curriculum. This helps ensure that any gaps children may have are rapidly closed and that they make strong progress.
Children are actively engaged in their learning throughout the day, as activities draw and maintain their interests. The nursery follows these interests, extends learning and provides continual challenge to children. The nursery uses its knowledge of children's interests to create a monthly timetable of events to engage children and families even further in areas that are of real importance. For example, to enhance children's physical skills in balance and coordination, and artistic expression, the nursery provides children with entire days focused on learning about things such as dance, yoga and creative activities.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- refine arrangements for staff coaching and mentoring to help improve interactions with children.

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.
