What it is like to attend
Children are happy and settled at this inviting and welcoming nursery. Staff build positive relationships with their key children. They gather information from parents and carers when children first start. They find out about their interests and daily routines. Staff know children very well. This helps children to settle quickly and separate from their parents and carers confidently. Children feel safe and secure in staff's care.
Leaders and managers are very passionate about giving all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), the best start in life. Overall, they plan an ambitious curriculum focusing on children's interests.
Staff use assessments to identify children's next steps. They plan an environment that is interesting and inviting for children. Staff extend children's knowledge and understanding through exciting activities. All children make good progress.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- consider children's age and stage of development when planning and teaching songs and action rhymes.

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.
