£8.00an hour, typical for a 2 years old
£7.50an hour, typical for a 3 and 4 years old

What the inspector found

One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

What it is like to attend

Children develop close relationships with their friends and the staff who care for them at this nursery. Staff know children well and use their knowledge of children's interests and learning needs to plan interesting activities that are linked to the current themes throughout the day. Staff's understanding of children and their learning goals helps to make the curriculum well designed, sequenced and interesting. Children arrive excited to learn and cheerfully greet their friends and staff.

Staff have a good understanding of how to support children's emotional well-being.

They have high expectations of children's behaviour. Staff speak to children calmly and help them to understand their feelings. Children learn to share and take turns.

What Ofsted told them to improve

To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:

- improve staff's understanding of how children's communication and language skills develop, particularly those staff working with younger children n make better use of the range of activities in the outdoor area to promote children's progress.

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.
