What it is like to attend
Staff develop warm and caring relationships with children and their families. The settling-in process is flexible to provide parents with reassurance that their children are ready to begin nursery. Children are happy to attend the nursery and quickly engage in activities on arrival each day. Children form healthy bonds with staff, who are positive role models for children. Staff engage and encourage children throughout the day. This helps to build children's confidence and resilience, and supports children in having a good attitude to learning. For example, staff encourage children to take risks outdoors and use the balance boards to jump and manage space.
The manager and his team are ambitious for every child, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities, to make progress. The curriculum is supported by weekly planning, which is led by what children need to learn to support their understanding and what they need to know next. Staff follow children's lead and interests, helping to engage children and learn in the moment.
Staff help children to be effective communicators. They extend children's vocabulary and use children's experiences to promote conversations. For example, as children play at the sand table, staff encourage them to make links from their learning. Children talk about their trip to the seaside. They explain that they need sun cream and a hat to stay safe from the sun. Children behave well at nursery.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- consider how to provide children with further challenge in their learning when planning activities and resources in all rooms n plan opportunities to extend children's mathematical skills further.

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.
