What it is like to attend
Children's confidence soars in the care of the dedicated leaders and attentive staff at this safe and inclusive nursery. They build strong relationships with staff, who support children's welfare and development well. For example, key persons work together when children move to a new room in the nursery. This supports staff to provide consistency for children's individual needs. Children's emotional well-being and happiness are highly supported, ensuring they are ready and able to learn.
Children are enthusiastic and active learners. Staff plan activities that are based on children's interests and that build on what children already know. Children are eager to explore and engage well in a broad range of activities, such as exploring with paint to mix colours, making their own play dough and problem-solving to arrange recycle bins with the correct waste. There is effective support from staff to help children learn the skills to prepare them for the next stage in their development.
Staff have high expectations for children's behaviour. Children understand the routines and confidently follow instructions. For example, they take off their own wetsuits and shoes when they come inside. Children learn to share and take turns when playing with each other. They are kind and considerate, and they use good manners. Staff praise children's efforts and achievements, building high levels of self-esteem and encouraging them to have a 'can-do' attitude to their learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- build on staff's knowledge of the curriculum intent so they are clear what skills and knowledge they want children to gain from all experiences.

What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? 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.
