What it is like to attend
Children are excited to arrive at this friendly nursery. The enthusiastic staff greet children warmly and encourage them to join in the many activities they skilfully plan. Children have built loving bonds with the adults, who prioritise their wellbeing. Children benefit from the small number of children, and staff are extremely attentive to their needs. For example, staff recognise when children are hungry or feel tired. They provide cuddles and offer reassurance, which supports children's well-being effectively. Children listen and respond well to staff's instructions. They follow daily routines and know what is going to happen next. Children behave very well.
Children show positive attitudes towards their learning. They enjoy a regular
Spanish lesson taught by an external teacher. They recall words they have learned in previous weeks and quickly pick up and sing Spanish songs. This contributes to children's understanding that some people use different languages. Children enjoy listening to stories. They gather round and snuggle in as staff enthusiastically read books. Children confidently join in with repeated phrases in the stories and demonstrate their understanding of what is being read. Babies help staff to turn the pages as they carefully handle books and point to the pictures. Children of all ages are developing a love of reading.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- build on the home-learning strategies already in place, to involve parents in their children's learning even further n enhance opportunities for children to experience the natural world, in order to support children's investigative skills further.

Still missing for Jigsaw Day Nursery
- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- Is £65.00 a day still the rate? 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.
