What it is like to attend
Staff greet children with an enthusiastic welcome each day. Staff have built caring, respectful relationships with the children who they know well. Children receive frequent cuddles throughout the day and staff seek permission before carrying out personal care. These relationships help children to feel safe and secure.
Staff have high expectations of what children can achieve. Leaders use additional funding effectively according to children's individual needs. Children are eager to explore the exciting environments that staff create. Young children excitedly shake instruments along to familiar songs. Children have made friendships with their peers and enjoy playing together. For example, when children discover ladybirds outside, they work cooperatively to create a home for them from leaves. Children show good levels of independence. All children are encouraged to hang up their belongings and to feed themselves. Older children serve their own meals and pour their own drinks competently. When spillages occur, children independently clean them up. Children are confident in their own abilities and make good progress in their learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- improve consistency in staff practice by having a clearer oversight of the impact of training and support
- support staff to understand the importance of consistently implementing the nursery's hygiene procedures, such as handwashing after wiping children's noses.

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.
