What it is like to attend
Staff provide a warm, nurturing environment for children and families. They know children very well and gather detailed information before they start and before they move up through the rooms in the nursery. This helps them to maintain up-to-date knowledge of children and enables staff to meet their care and learning needs effectively. Children, including those who are new to the nursery, show they feel safe and secure with staff. They benefit from a close relationship with a key person of their choosing. Staff promote children's positive behaviour and emotional wellbeing. They regularly offer praise to children and encourage them to join in with new experiences and develop new skills.
Staff have high expectations for all children who attend. They provide an exciting curriculum which meets the individual needs of children. Since the COVID-19
pandemic, the management team has worked hard to focus on closing potential gaps in children's learning and support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff have received training in supporting interactions and promoting children's communication skills. This has had a positive impact on children's progress. Older children are well prepared to start school. They develop good levels of concentration and are keen, enthusiastic learners.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - consider the impact of the size of the group during planned activities, to ensure children can participate and engage deeply in their learning n reflect on and implement ways for older children to use the toilet independently, to further promote and respect their privacy.

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.
