What it is like to attend
Children thrive in this nursery. They enjoy playing with their friends, which promotes their social and emotional skills effectively. Children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, receive the right level of support to help narrow the gaps in their learning. They delight in hearing new words, singing songs and listening to stories. This helps to develop and extend children's vocabulary. There are plenty of opportunities for children to practise their increasing physical abilities. For example, younger children test their crawling and walking skills as they explore the indoor environment. Outdoors, older children show good concentration as they use their core muscles on the obstacle course.
Children become socially confident learners. They greet new people and interact with them happily. Children learn about the wider world as part of their curriculum.
They hear different languages, such as Gujarati and French, to raise their understanding about similarities and differences between people. Children work collaboratively. For instance, during spontaneous play, they invite their peers to
What Ofsted told them to improve

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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