What it is like to attend
Children clearly show that they feel safe and happy. They develop positive relationships with the caring and attentive staff. Children's individual needs are met well. Children are eager to learn, and their behaviour is good. They respond well to the staff's high expectations for them. Babies are excited to listen to music and play with musical instruments. They tap the drum and eagerly use the shakers to make sounds. Two-year-olds are curious about plants and herbs. They learn to be gentle when touching the leaves to feel the textures and smell the scent. Preschool children learn their friends' names and work very well together to build a train track.
The nursery curriculum takes full account of children's interests. Children become engaged in the activities they choose and show good concentration. They ask staff to read stories to them and join in with the familiar words. Children's vocabulary is supported well in the nursery. They learn new words as they play. For example, two-year-olds make 'telescopes' from cardboard tubes and are excited to look for
'treasure'. Babies are encouraged to babble, and staff look at them when they speak to them. Children develop confidence, independence and social skills. They seek out their friends and ask for assistance from staff when they need it.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- extend the practice and subject knowledge of newly qualified and less confident staff to enhance their teaching and interactions with children n give children more time to think about what they want to say before moving on with further questions during conversations.

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.
- 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.
