What it is like to attend
Staff support children's separation from parents. Familiar staff greet children at the door and spend time sharing information. This means that children arrive happy and settle quickly in the environment, where they feel safe and secure. Staff are kind and reassure children. They form close bonds with the children, which are especially important to children who are new to nursery. This nurturing approach supports children's emotional well-being.
Staff role model good behaviour. They have high expectations for all children to be kind and to think about the feelings of others. Staff teach children simple rules to help them understand how to behave. As a result, children behave well. They develop nice friendships with their peers. Children take turns and share. They begin to negotiate and ask if they can have toys held by others and wait for a response.
The focus of the curriculum is predominantly based on the prime areas of learning for younger children. The specific areas are woven into children's learning as their ages and stages of development progress. This provides them with further challenge to what they know and can do. The staff team is invested in teaching children the wide range of skills they will require for their future learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to review how their teaching can increase children's understanding of English so that children can make rapid progress n develop children's understanding of the different types of families outside of their own experience.

- 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
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.
