What it is like to attend
Children enter the nursery ready to play and learn. They show that they feel safe and happy in the care of the familiar adults who greet them. Children get fresh air and exercise in the interesting outdoor spaces. Younger children find out that fresh herbs, such as mint, have distinctive smells and textures. This is because staff understand how children learn. They plant the herbs where children can touch them. Older children confidently explore the garden. They find and observe small creatures, such as ants. Staff help children to extend what they know. For example, children discover that some ants develop wings and fly away. Children make good progress in their learning.
The nursery is well organised. Daily routines are clear and children know the expectations for their behaviour at different times. For example, children feel encouraged to run about and be noisy outdoors. When children are indoors, they know that they are sometimes required to sit still and listen. Parents and carers say that they develop positive relationships with the nursery team and children's key persons. They particularly praise the sensitive support that helped children to settle back into nursery, after the COVID-19 restrictions were lifted.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- help staff to identify more clearly what children are intended to know, or be able to do, as a result of participating in adult-led activities n train staff to understand how children learn to read, in order that the curriculum for literacy is more meaningful for children of all ages.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- Is £75.00 a day still the rate? 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.
- 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.
