What it is like to attend
Children enjoy the time they spend at the warm and welcoming nursery. The key person system is well established, and the staff know the children well. Including their individual care routines, development to date and what they need to learn next. Staff working with the youngest babies are especially effective at creating a nurturing environment. They quickly notice when babies who are new to the nursery are feeling a little unsure and provide them with cuddles until they settle.
These interactions help children develop secure attachments so that they feel safe and protected.
Children behave well and approach their learning with eagerness and a positive attitude. Leaders and staff are committed to providing stimulating learning experiences, that motivate children to learn. They have constructed an ambitious curriculum to ensure that all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make progress from their starting points.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- respond more swiftly to children's interests and adapt the routines in response to these n help younger children to take responsibility for their toys and the environment, such as by encouraging them to tidy up when they finish playing.

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.
