What it is like to attend
Children settle well into the nursery and the care of the experienced staff team.
Staff spend time getting to know their key children and establishing strong bonds with them. This gives children the emotional security they need to be confident learners. Staff make the most of opportunities when numbers are low, for example, at the start and end of the day, to bring all the children together. At these times, the youngest children play alongside their older peers, which helps their development. Older children behave beautifully towards babies, treating them gently and including them in their play. These opportunities for mixed-age learning give older children the opportunity to be positive role models.
Children are helpful and independent because staff expect them to learn to do things by themselves and play an active role in the day-to-day routine. Children know to fetch their aprons when it is time for messy play, they go to the sink to wash their hands when required and, when they are thirsty, they use the water dispenser by themselves. Sometimes staff need help, for example, to fetch chairs or an extra table, and children keenly offer to contribute. Children at this nursery develop high levels of self-care, independence and confidence, which will support their eventual move to school.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop outdoor areas further to provide children with more opportunities across all learning areas when they play outside.

What to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
