What it is like to attend
Children arrive happily as they are greeted by the kind and caring staff. Staff build positive relationships with children and help them to feel safe and secure within the nursery environment. Wherever possible, key persons tend to the children's individual care needs. All children, including new babies, settle quickly.
Leaders and staff are committed to providing children with good-quality education and care. They know what it is that they want children to learn. Staff assess and know children's next steps and learning needs. They design and implement an ambitious curriculum that supports all children in their learning journey. All children make good progress from their starting points, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
Staff promote children's safety and well-being effectively. Older children learn how to keep themselves safe. They practise road safety rules while riding bikes in the garden. Staff help children to negotiate space successfully and play cooperatively.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- enhance the quality of interaction with children who communicate less, ensuring they are fully immersed in their learning n support staff to focus on the precise skills they want each child to gain during planned activities so that children consistently benefit from the intended and well-sequenced 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.
