What it is like to attend
Children are very happy as they excitedly greet their friends. There is a buzz of energy at the nursery, and staff enthusiastically engage children. Children feel safe and secure and talk with staff about their home life. Older children laugh and wait their turn as they find which number fits the shape on the page. Staff support their choices and offer ideas, which children respond well to. Children independently find toys to play with. They talk on pretend phones to their friends at the other side of the room.
Staff are friendly and welcoming. This helps babies to settle quickly and engage with their peers. Babies hand each other cards and babble happily as staff repeat the words clearly. Toddlers run outside and put stones in buckets, shaking them to hear the sounds. Children stop and look for a helicopter flying in the sky as staff point it out to those who cannot see it.
Parents are really happy with the nursery and love coming to stay-and-play sessions. They feel involved in their children's learning and progression. Parents love hearing them singing songs at home that they have learned at nursery.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- monitor teaching more effectively to identify and address minor weaknesses in practice, to raise children's achievements to a higher level n help children to develop a more in-depth understanding of what they have in common with others and learn about the diverse world they live in.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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