What it is like to attend
Leaders have created a varied curriculum with a particular focus on nature and the well-being of children. Children arrive excited and eager. They display good independence when recognising their named pegs, taking off their shoes and putting their slippers on ready to go into their rooms. Older children develop their coordination and balance when happily using the swings together. They build on their friendships as they sing together, 'Rain, rain go away, come again another day.' Staff help younger children to develop their smaller physical skills as they use tweezers to pick up peas. Children say 'ooo cold' as they squish the peas in their hands, relishing the sensory experience. Staff introduce new vocabulary such as
'freezer' as they explain that this makes the peas cold. Babies develop their awareness of sounds when banging various sized pots, waving their arms up and down excitedly. Staff introduce new mathematical concepts from an early age, such as 'big' and 'little'. All children make good progress in their learning.
Staff have developed nurturing relationships with children in the home-from-home environment that leaders have created. Children feel safe and secure. Staff have high expectations for children's behaviour throughout the nursery and implement effective strategies such as 'Golden rules'. Children develop a secure understanding of boundaries and what is expected of them. Staff are excellent role models, and children show kindness and respect to others. For example, children pass each other a tissue as they wipe their noses.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to consistently use children's interests when planning activities, helping children to become deeply engaged in their learning n strengthen the practice of staff working with babies so that children's learning experiences consistently reflect and challenge their stage of development, helping babies to develop the skills they are capable of.

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.
