What it is like to attend
Children arrive at nursery eager to begin their play and quickly engage with wellplanned activities. They separate from their parents with ease and are happy to see their friends and staff. Staff warmly greet children and provide them with lots of reassurance, encouragement and cuddles in the day. Children show a good attachment to their key person. This helps children to feel they belong in the nursery. Children feel safe and secure, ready to begin their learning. They know the routines well and are occasionally reminded of what is expected. Children respond well to this calm and gentle approach. They behave well and have a positive attitude to their learning.
The curriculum is sequenced well, building on what children know already and what interests them. Staff work with parents to ensure they get to know the children well and help children to settle in. This helps to build children's confidence. Staff observe children to understand what engages and motivates them in learning. This helps to plan next steps for children effectively. Staff are ambitious for every child and help to prepare them for school. Children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, make good progress.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- make better use of all opportunities to encourage children's independence throughout their everyday routines, such as tidying up after completing an activity.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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