What it is like to attend
Children are happy and smiley at this welcoming nursery. They have formed warm, close relationships with staff and feel safe. Babies and children regularly visit the nursery before starting, which helps them to settle in. They develop the confidence needed to explore the well-resourced environment. Older children say that they enjoy the nursery because it is fun. They talk about how they can be themselves and have lots of opportunities for socialising with their many friends.
Staff have high expectations for children. They know what they can do and what they need to learn next. They consider their interests when they plan learning and teach children to solve problems and make predictions. For example, children decide which is the best tool to use to free toy animals from ice. This helps them to develop the thinking skills that they need and to make good progress.
Children leave the nursery as confident and well-rounded individuals. They have fantastic opportunities to explore the world around them. The children are part of an eco-committee to drive improvements in recycling, energy use and caring for the planet. Children help to raise money for charity and donate to local food banks.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - strengthen the use of strategies such as questioning and introducing new vocabulary, to support children's communication and language skills further n place a greater importance on story time routines to help children to develop their love of reading.

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.
