What it is like to attend
Children settle well into this caring nursery. The kind staff welcome them enthusiastically and they happily set off to play with their friends. Staff get to know children and their families well and this helps staff to understand children's individual needs and preferences. Leaders support new children by offering various settling-in sessions, giving them time to adapt to the nursery environment and to help them to feel safe.
Staff are good role models. They help children to behave well and follow the rules and routines in the nursery independently from a young age. For instance, when the tidy-up bell rings, they stop their play and help put the toys away while singing the tidy-up song. Staff create opportunities for children to feel proud of their achievements. Children delight in being the helper of the day and carrying out their
'jobs'. Staff support children to be confident to make their own choices about what they want to play with next.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop staff's understanding of how to support children's critical thinking skills, to further enhance the good quality of learning experiences.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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