What it is like to attend
Children enjoy their time at this nursery. Staff build positive relationships with children and sit close to babies as they play, which helps them to feel safe and secure. Children are supported to play cooperatively and join in activities together.
Staff know children well and understand their individual needs. For example, some children are given extra time with staff to help them to regulate their emotions when they become upset.
Children have opportunities to explore materials and develop their fine motor skills.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to fully understand how to consolidate children's learning n fully embed the planning system so that all staff provide purposeful learning activities for children.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- What does it cost, all in? 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.
