What you might pay

What it is like to attend
Children show that they feel safe and welcome at the nursery. They learn actively and this supports their physical and emotional well-being. Younger toddlers use energetic, whole-arm movements to aim cotton-wool balls at a sticky target. This promotes their muscle development and balance. Pre-school children confidently tackle a climbing wall. This gives them practice in coordinating their arms and legs.
They emerge with delight and an obvious sense of achievement, at the bottom of a tunnel slide. Staff position themselves so that they are on hand to encourage children and supervise their play. They help children to judge and take risks safely.
Staff teach children to follow routines that promote their listening and attention skills. Pre-school children know that when they hear the little handbell, they must stop what they are doing and listen to the person who has rung it. Babies readily gather together when staff show them the little doll that signals it is time to sing some songs and rhymes. The routines promote children's independence and they learn the expectations for their conduct. Parents and carers say that they like the homely atmosphere of the nursery. They say that staff keep them well informed about activities and children's progress. This helps parents to continue children's learning at home.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- help staff to make the next steps for children's learning even more precise and meaningful n develop staff's knowledge about teaching early writing.

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.
