What it is like to attend
Children thrive at this warm, inclusive nursery. Although their experiences are slightly different, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, children show that they are happy. They part from their parents with ease at the entrance, holding their arms out to cuddle their key person. Staff get to know children well, during the initial settling-in period and throughout their time at the nursery. This helps children to feel safe and be ready to learn.
Children demonstrate positive attitudes towards their learning. They choose the activities that they would like to complete. Babies develop their physical skills by pulling themselves up and taking their first steps. They excitedly explore the marks that they can make with paint using their hands. Toddlers investigate the sounds that musical instruments make and delight while exploring the texture of shaving foam. Older children develop their small-muscle skills as they make detailed models of vehicles and robots with small construction blocks. They practise their counting skills and learn to recognise their own names. Outdoors, children show good physical skills while they climb up to the slide and throw balls. They develop their coordination and spatial awareness as they use bicycles and walk across low-level apparatus.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- refine the curriculum for communication and language, to fully promote children's communication, language and thinking skills n strengthen partnership working with parents, to help parents better support and extend their children's learning at home n enhance the programme of coaching and professional development for staff, to further develop their skills and knowledge, and raise the quality of education to a higher level.

Still missing for Glen Jakes Nursery
- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £46.00 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.
- 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.
