What it is like to attend
Children are happy and safe at this good nursery. They settle quickly and are eager to seek out play opportunities. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, leaders continue to prioritise creating a nurturing environment. An effective key-person system allows staff to support children's confidence and emotional well-being. For example, children know that they can approach staff for reassurance and for a cuddle.
Children have positive attitudes towards their learning. They develop their own ideas and imaginations while they play. For example, children feed bottles to dolls.
They use wooden blocks to make a house, pointing out the steps and saying that
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- sharpen the feedback given to staff around their practice, to fully promote children's engagement in learning and to help them to make the best possible progress n strengthen the programme of professional development to support staff in further developing their knowledge and skills.

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.
