What it is like to attend
Children arrive happy at the nursery. They are greeted by friendly staff and settle quickly into their rooms to play. Children build close relationships with staff. This helps them to feel safe and secure while attending.
All children confidently access a range of play resources that interest them. They are content to play with staff and include them in their games. For example, children giggle with delight as staff crawl around the floor to catch them. Others sing along to familiar songs and rhymes, following the actions. Babies enjoy moving animals around in a light dusting of flour. They look at the marks they make. They learn the names of various animals. For example, when staff say what the animal is, babies attempt to find these. This shows their increasing understanding.
Children behave well. They respond positively to staff reminders and guidance to use 'kind hands'. Children receive lots of praise for positive behaviours. Staff model polite and respectful behaviour and consistently use good manners. This helps the youngest children to develop these skills. Children enjoy learning and have fun.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- help staff to focus more precisely on clearer learning intentions for activities, to support what individual children need to learn next, so that children make the most progress they are capable of n strengthen current arrangements for staff supervision and coaching to further support staff to develop their quality of education practice to the highest levels.

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.
