What it is like to attend
The manager has devised an ambitious curriculum that supports children in all areas of their learning. Babies are progressing well in their physical development.
They strengthen their hand muscles through experiences such as stirring the home-made play dough mixture. Staff help toddlers develop their vocabulary by introducing new words as they explore different textures on a sensory walk. Preschool children develop their mark-making skills as staff encourage them to sign themselves in. Staff are in tune with what excites children and motivates them to learn. For example, they skilfully support babies' love of music by engaging them in a range of instruments to bang and move their bodies in rhythm to. All children are making good progress and developing positive attitudes towards learning.
Staff take a consistent approach to supporting children's behaviour. Children are encouraged to share and take turns. They are developing a strong understanding of respect for others. Personal, social and emotional development is at the heart of this nursery. Staff provide ample opportunities for children to develop their independence. At mealtimes, children are given important tasks, such as setting the table, to develop their sense of responsibility. As a result, children are highly independent. The manager's vision for the setting is to provide every child with a voice. This is implemented exceptionally well by staff. As a result, children are extremely happy and secure.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to enable them to provide consistently high-quality interactions for children to further support their learning.

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.
