What it is like to attend
Children arrive happily at the nursery and are greeted warmly by staff. They enjoy a range of learning experiences that help them to make good progress in their development. Babies enjoy sensory play as they explore a range of textures with their hands. Staff are kind and nurturing, which helps babies to feel safe and secure. Staff offer consistent, supportive interactions and introduce new language to build babies' vocabulary. For example, as babies look at books, staff enthusiastically introduce the word 'stomp' as they talk about elephants.
Older children have fun playing with their friends. They work well together as they make train tracks and navigate where pieces should go. Children recall their own experiences as they talk about going to Norwood Junction train station. All children benefit from well-thought-out outdoor play experiences. Children use their senses as they explore the mud kitchen and talk about textures. They learn about growing and planting and explore the minibeast zone.
Children behave well. Older children understand the routines such as helping to put away the toys. Staff make this task exciting by asking children to help tidy away
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- help staff develop children's learning further by allowing children more time to respond to questions and help them to have more time to communicate their own ideas and thoughts to develop their language even further n consider how to reduce background distraction for the older children to help them engage more during focused activities.

Still missing for K & O Childcare Ltd
- Meals
- Nappies
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £300.00 a week 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.
