What it is like to attend

Staff have a deep understanding of children in the nursery. They take the time to learn about each child's interests, home environment and developmental stage when they first join. This ensures a smooth settling-in process for children. An effective key-person system is in place that prioritises children's well-being and personal growth. Children are incredibly happy in the nursery. They form strong bonds with staff, who offer warm, sensitive and caring interactions. Children's behaviour is good as staff set clear expectations and boundaries, which they communicate at the start of each day. Children confidently remember the importance of sharing, taking turns and using good manners. The nursery has a calm and focused atmosphere, where all children engage in play harmoniously with one another.

Staff are committed to ensuring that all children make the best progress by implementing a well-planned curriculum that considers each child's development and interests. They focus on enhancing children's communication, language and social skills, particularly for children who speak English as an additional language.

For instance, they use visual aids and key words from children's home languages.

What Ofsted told them to improve

To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:

- support staff to develop their knowledge of how to meet the intended aims of the curriculum more effectively during group activities n support children to deepen their knowledge and skills further of different mathematical concepts more consistently.

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.
