What it is like to attend
Children are happy and feel safe at this nursery. They play with their friends and enjoy a range of interesting activities. For example, children explore Arctic animals in the heavy-duty plastic tray. They touch the real ice and say, 'It feels cold,' and
'It is freezing.' Children are learning new words and using them in their play.
Children benefit from a clear structure and routine. They play with familiar staff who know them well. Children share what they have been doing at home with staff. For example, they say, 'I went on the train with my mummy.' Staff ask the children questions and find out what they know. For example, they ask, 'What did the train sound like?' Children are able to extend their learning from home in the nursery.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- further develop opportunities for children's outside play n enhance the implementation of the curriculum so that all activities are closely linked to the individual needs of all children n develop the curriculum opportunities for children to understand their local community.

- 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
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £60.00 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.
