What it is like to attend
Children are happy and feel safe in this nurturing, welcoming environment. The experienced staff know children well and carefully plan to ensure that they meet all children's needs. Staff show passion for implementing a curriculum that is fun and tailored to children's interests and their next steps in learning. They make sure that they teach children the importance of community cohesion. For example, children have regular visits to their local care home and take part in community events.
Staff teach children to be independent and plan activities to enhance children's problem-solving skills.
Children behave well. They listen and attend to circle-time sessions. They sing and clap to welcome their friends to nursery. Children take turns and share resources.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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