What it is like to attend
Children play and learn in a positive and caring environment. Staff are happy and supportive which helps children build trusting relationships with them. Staff warmly greet children at the door. As a result, children part confidently from their parents.
Children sing joyfully as they prepare to go out into the garden. They are learning how to keep themselves safe. For instance, older children tell their friends to hold the handrail while walking down the stairs. Before going into the garden, children take part in counting the number of children there are, to check they are all together.
Staff know the children well and support them to build on what they already know and can do and what they need to learn next. Children show a positive attitude to learning. They make connections between their own experiences and their learning at the nursery. For example, pre-school children make tea with cold water, teabags, herbs, and dried orange slices. Children talk about oranges looking like pumpkins. Staff question them about things they could make with pumpkins and children say, 'pumpkin latte'. This helps children to develop a deeper understanding of the topic that interests them.
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 in the toddler room to ensure that children receive the same rich learning opportunities during this time as they do at other times of the day
- enhance systems for sharing information with parents about their children's learning and development.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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