What it is like to attend
Leaders and managers react quickly to improve the nursery. They make positive changes to ensure that they are meeting the requirements of the early years foundation stage to keep children safe.
Children arrive happy and ready to start their day. Staff welcome them into the different playrooms, offering comfort and support for those new to the nursery.
Children settle quickly and are soon playing with the toys and resources.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - make sure that staff plan for children's learning in a way that focuses more closely on what children need to learn next by building on what they know and can do.

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.
