What it is like to attend
Children and parents receive a warm welcome into the nursery. Children happily separate from their parents and quickly settle into the daily routines. Children build strong bonds with their key person and staff, which helps children to feel safe and secure. They receive cuddles and reassurance when needed from the caring staff.
Children become deeply engaged in their chosen play. They make independent choices from the range of interesting and fun resources. Children learn through an effective balance of adult-led activities and child-initiated play. Children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities make good progress from their starting points.
Children have wonderful opportunities to enjoy fresh air and exercise. They have lots of fun and show their delight when running around the field, demonstrating good control and spatial awareness. Older babies and toddlers confidently climb steps and excitedly whoosh down the slide. Staff give children an abundance of encouragement and praise for their achievements. As a result, children gain confidence and positive self-esteem. Staff support children to develop their independence. Babies are supported to feed themselves and older children pour their own drinks at mealtimes. Staff encourage children to work together to tidy up at the end of a play session.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen evaluation and monitoring of staff practice to provide staff with more intently focused support to further extend on their already good knowledge, skills and teaching practice n support children to develop a deeper understanding of cultures that are different from their own and the diverse world in which they live.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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