What it is like to attend
There is a hum of excitement as children enter the nursery to find their friends and activities to take part in. Children settle into 'busy learning' after participating in a group activity to promote speech and language development through songs and rhymes. Children join in. They sing enthusiastically after staff use signs, gestures and facial expressions, along with speech, to introduce the features of the main characters in the next song or rhyme. Children watch and copy the actions to describe a small mouse running up a clock. Staff support younger children to look at books, turning pages and singing songs linked to what they can see.
The curriculum is planned to have high expectations for all children. Behaviour is good. Children appear happy and form strong attachments to staff. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are quickly identified. As soon as children settle in, staff use observations and developmental tools to assess children's starting points and to plan next steps in their learning. Parents share how developmental milestones for children were made 'easy' to achieve as the 'kind'
staff guide parents by identifying when children are ready to develop new skills, such as toilet training.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - ensure that opportunities are included to develop and extend children's mathematical skills n develop children's understanding of turn-taking and sharing to further support positive behaviour.

- Nappies
- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £100.00 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.
