What it is like to attend
Children arrive with big smiles, eager to start their day at this friendly, nurturing nursery. They are greeted warmly by caring staff who take time to chat to them about their morning. Children separate easily from their parents, confidently waving goodbye and telling them, 'I will see you later'. They embrace staff with spontaneous hugs and show that they feel safe and secure.
Children settle quickly and explore the range of inviting activities with confidence and independence. Babies investigate coloured scarves. They wave them around their heads and giggle as staff engage them in games of peekaboo. Babies join in with singing familiar songs. They clap their hands excitedly and say, 'Quack, quack, quack'. Toddlers enjoy using flannels and cloths to wash dolls. They plunge their hands into water trays and move them around to splash their 'babies'. Pre-school children become engrossed in moulding play dough to make pretend cakes and biscuits. They show control using rolling pins and cutters. They spend time sprinkling flour onto their mixtures and explain, 'This is milkshake'. Children browse through cook books and choose recipes. They use oven gloves to put their cakes into play ovens, telling staff, 'This needs baking for 2000 minutes'.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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