What it is like to attend
Children are happy and excited to explore in this inviting and nurturing nursery.
They benefit from the secure attachments they build with staff. For example, they arrive at nursery with big smiles and are greeted with cuddles from their key person. This helps children to feel safe and excited for the day ahead.
Staff are positive role models and have high expectations of children's behaviour.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to identify children's next steps in learning and incorporate these into children's learning experiences to help them build skills cumulatively and coherently over time n refine systems for monitoring the impact of staff training and consider how staff can share new knowledge with the team to continuously improve practice.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £10.00 an hour 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.
- 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.
