What it is like to attend
Children arrive and are welcomed into a warm environment, where staff help them to quickly settle and join their peers for breakfast. Children show that they feel secure, and they form positive relationships with adults, who respond to their needs and give them lots of praise and encouragement. The children enjoy being outside, where they use paint brushes and water to paint on a wall. They jump enthusiastically in puddles, while adults sing 'It's raining, it's pouring' to them.
Children's behaviour and attitudes are good, and they play with each other cooperatively. Very young babies eagerly try new things. They practise their physical skills and coordination. For example, children enjoy climbing to the top of a small ramp. Children receive individual support through a key-person system, where staff help them achieve the next steps in their learning.
The nursery has three rooms that cater for different ages. All are clean and well equipped. Babies are already following routines. For example, they know where to go and sit at snack time. Older children are developing mathematical skills as staff give them practical reasons to count, such as when they line up to go outside.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- extend children's language by giving them more time to share and express their ideas fully while they play n encourage and give children the space they need to learn how to do things for themselves to further develop their independence.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £58.00 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.
