What it is like to attend
Children show a real sense of belonging in this friendly nursery. They are secure and separate quickly from their main carer. Children form close bonds with staff, who are attentive to their needs and help them to feel safe and settled.
Children are happy and busy in this welcoming environment. They show interest in the activities that staff plan and provide for them. Children spend their time engaging in purposeful play. For example, they use their imagination as they use tools and pretend to be construction workers. Children enjoy playing with dolls and pretending to be parents.
Children are curious and motivated to learn. Staff implement an effective curriculum, and children have fun as they engage in stimulating activities indoors and outdoors. Children explore the natural world as they dig in the mud kitchen.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- identify an even more targeted plan for professional development, to increase staff knowledge and skills even further and raise the quality of teaching to a higher level.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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