What it is like to attend
Children settle well into this nursery, where they feel safe, secure and happy. Staff create a comfortable environment and know children well. They identify children's starting points in development and their next steps in learning. Staff differentiate activities to meet the needs of individual children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Staff sit among children reading stories, interacting and singing songs. The nursery is calm, and children listen and respond as they develop their language and vocabulary.
Children go outside each day. Staff observe and talk to children as they play in the sandpit and extend their communication by asking questions. Children's language and communication are good. They are engaged and excitedly narrate their play, as they spoon sand into little teapots. Staff are kind and affectionate. Children are valued and listened to as they playfully sing. They sing a 'hello' song to learn and recognise each other's names. Children sit in a circle and play with a parachute, taking turns to choose a game. Staff support younger children by offering them alternatives. Children cuddle their key person, who responds warmly.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- expand on children's opportunities to extend their abilities and self-care skills n enhance the outdoor provision further by creating opportunities for children, who prefer to learn outside to play and explore in the natural environment.

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.
