What it is like to attend
Staff praise children and they respond with positive behaviour. Children take turns and play cooperatively and are kind to each other. For example, a toddler pats their friend's back when they cough. Staff form strong bonds with children, and they enjoy the staff's interactions in their play. Children enjoy a calm and well-organised environment. Staff have very good relationships with children. For example, children are excited and run to hug staff when they arrive at the nursery.
Children are fully engaged and motivated. They are confident in initiating and choosing their play. Children show pride in their achievements and proudly show the inspector their creations. Staff support children to 'have a go' and succeed. As a result, children develop a strong 'can-do' attitude. For example, children show great resilience as they practise riding a scooter outdoors. Each time they lose their balance, they keep trying until they succeed. Children's control of their hands and fingers is enhanced as they excitedly search for bricks hiding in foam, then build towers. Outdoors, they run, jump and manoeuvre themselves around obstacles using their whole bodies. This encourages children to be physically active.
Staff have well-planned transition procedures, and they develop positive key-person relationships. This helps children to feel safe and secure. For instance, when children start nursery, they have settling-in visits and staff spend time with families getting to know them and their child. This helps children settle quickly and become familiar with their new environment, different toys, and new people.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- work more closely with parents to share strategies to help accelerate children's acquisition of toileting skills n develop staff support and help staff to understand how to challenge children even further in their learning.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £68.00 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.
