What it is like to attend
Children's learning and development are well supported by kind, caring staff. Staff know the children very well. They build warm, trusting relationships with them. The curriculum offers challenge and sparks children's interests and natural curiosity.
Children display high levels of interest and are keen to engage in learning activities.
They play happily and demonstrate positive attitudes to their learning. Children make good progress during their time at the nursery. They develop the skills they need to move to the next stage in their learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- consider the organisation of activities, especially during group times, to support children to make choices and test their own ideas through trial and error, so that they build on what they already know and continue to make progress in their learning n provide children with opportunities and activities that represent the diverse register of the setting and the wider community, so that they can begin to reflect on differences and their own uniqueness.

Still missing for Early Years 2 Private Day Nursery
- Waiting list
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- Is £65.00 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.
- 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.
