What it is like to attend
Children develop strong relationship with their key person, and they settle quickly on arrival. Staff greet children warmly at the door. They take the time to speak to each parent when children arrive. This means that the transition between home and the nursery is easy for children. Children feel safe and secure. They approach staff for comfort, reassurance or to enthusiastically share their ideas.
Since the last inspection, the management and staff team have worked tirelessly to make all the necessary improvements. This helps to ensure that every child gets a good quality education, and best possible start in their lives. Leaders develop an ambitious curriculum based on children's interest and what they need to learn next.
Staff have high expectation of each child. This helps children to have positive attitudes towards their learning. Staff cooperate with parents and other professionals to ensure they meet each child's individual needs. This ensures that all children make good progress from their starting points.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- plan group activities more carefully, and take account of children's different needs, to help them be fully engaged n review handwashing procedures to minimise cross-infection and help children to develop a deeper understanding of the importance of this routine.

No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
