What it is like to attend
Children form strong bonds with staff at this large, welcoming nursery. This helps them to feel safe and secure. Children arrive eager to explore the interesting activities that await them. Children laugh as they splash and explore toy ducks in water. Staff extend children's learning as they sing 'Five little ducks' and encourage children to count the ducks. Children are excited learners, who make good progress in their development.
Children know and follow the routines and staff expectations. Younger children build towers, and staff encourage them to take turns. Children excitedly work together to make the tower bigger until it falls. Older children work together to create a 'cave' for their dinosaurs. When it collapses, they eagerly help each other to rebuild it. Children form friendships and play cooperatively together.
Leaders place high importance on supporting children's physical skills. Children are provided with ample opportunities to be physically active. Older children stretch their bodies and slither like snakes outside. Staff encourage babies to crawl over small bridges. Children beam with pride as they get to the top. Children are extremely physical in their play and make good progress in this area of learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- target professional development more precisely on helping all staff to build on their knowledge, understanding and skills over time n support staff to develop their knowledge of the curriculum intent further so that they are able to implement this consistently.

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
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.
