What it is like to attend
Children are safe and happy at the nursery. Younger children feel secure with caring and familiar staff. Older children independently explore their environment and seek to interact with their friends. Staff provide children with familiar activities and routines. This helps children to settle successfully on arrival. Children are eager to explore the stimulating activities that are set out for them. Staff prioritise children's physical development when they plan the curriculum. Toddlers and preschool children show great confidence and coordination negotiating the outdoor space on wheeled vehicles. Babies enjoy the large open space to explore indoors.
They independently stand and climb in and out of the large ball pool.
Children show care and respect for their learning environment and behave well.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- share more information with parents to support them to extend and continue their child's learning at home n target staff's professional development more precisely, to raise the quality of education to an even higher level.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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