What you might pay

What it is like to attend
Children enjoy attending this warm and welcoming nursery. They arrive and are greeted by their key person, who welcomes them warmly and helps them to settle.
Children are confident and enthusiastic learners, who consistently demonstrate that they feel safe and secure in the care of the nurturing staff team. They are supported by staff who know them well and make good use of their observations and assessments. Staff plan experiences that help children to build upon what they already know and can do. For example, children confidently recall aspects of previous learning as they play, such as remembering how to use scissors correctly when making models. All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, make good progress from the time they start attending.
Staff understand the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had, not only on children's learning and development but also on each other's well-being. Staff sensitively support each other to fulfil their roles. They confidently employ a wide range of intervention programmes in order to close any gaps in children's learning and development. This helps to ensure that children quickly catch up on any learning they may have missed. Children of all ages behave very well and express kindness towards each other.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- improve the organisation of large-group times, so that all children can take part and contribute equally n strengthen opportunities for children to learn about cultural diversity outside their own community.

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.
