What it is like to attend
The setting offers a welcoming environment, where children feel happy and confident. Children are settled and share warm and close relationships with the staff. This helps them to feel secure. Children confidently leave their parents at the front door, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and quickly settle into the nursery routine.
Children's behaviour is good, and they are motivated to learn. Staff plan activities based on children's interests, they are excited and willing to have a go. Children enjoy playing outdoors, where they can develop their physical skills by running, jumping, and climbing.
Staff are good role models to the children. Children show respect for their environment by picking up toys and encouraging others to do the same. Children remind each other to wipe noses and cover their mouths when coughing. Children enjoy the healthy, home-cooked food. Children discuss why they need to eat all their vegetables and how it makes them 'big and strong'.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support younger children to develop independence skills through daily routines n improve support for younger children to extend their vocabulary and enhance their developing communication skills.

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.
