What it is like to attend
Children are greeted with a warm welcome from the friendly manager and team when they arrive at nursery. The manager has implemented a robust settling-in procedure which ensures that staff know the children well before they start. Staff develop lovely bonds with their key children. For example, babies enjoy listening to their key person sing while enjoying cuddles. At home time, older children excitedly wave goodbye to staff and children in the playrooms. This demonstrates how safe, happy and secure children feel at the setting.
The manager has developed ambitious learning programmes for each playroom.
These build carefully on what children already know and can do. Each room provides appropriate challenge and reflects the high expectations staff have for the children. The learning programmes prepare and support children to move on to their next stage of learning well, including school. This helps children make good progress at this nursery. Children behave well. Staff set clear boundaries and act as good role models for the children. Children happily share toys and show kindness to their friends. For example, children encourage one another to find their waterproofs and put on their wellingtons. The playrooms are richly resourced, and children move around with confidence.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to engage more effectively with less confident and quieter children to maximise their learning n develop the organisation of snacks and mealtimes so that children are fully engaged throughout.

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.
