What it is like to attend
Children enjoy attending the nursery and feel safe and secure. Staff greet children warmly on their arrival. Children seek out staff for comfort and reassurance when needed. Staff are caring and soothe children who get upset. For example, they sing familiar rhymes to them. The manager and staff know the children well and have a clear understanding of children's starting points and individual needs. Children are keen to engage with the activities that staff offer. They show their curiosity in exploring different resources. Staff identify children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. They put clear plans in place to support these children's individual needs and ongoing development.
Staff provide a calm environment, with clear expectations for children's behaviour.
Children benefit from this consistent approach. They are well behaved. Staff give them plenty of guidance, for example, not to run in the room but to use their
What Ofsted told them to improve

- What it costs
- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- What does it cost, all in? 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.
