What it is like to attend
Children arrive full of smiles at this nursery. They are greeted warmly by kind and caring staff. This helps children separate well from their parents ready to start their day. Staff ensure children's transitions from home to nursery are smooth and handled sensitively. Staff build very strong relationships with children. Leaders ensure staff adopt robust settling-in procedures. The key-person systems are highly effective and tailored to individual children's needs from the outset. Children quickly become comfortable and form healthy attachments with staff. Staff have well-embedded routines that help children settle into nursery life well.
Leaders have devised a wide-ranging and well-thought-out curriculum. They ensure children benefit from diverse meaningful activities that broaden their experiences.
Children enjoy engaging in various sports, sensory, creative and dance activities.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support older children's understanding of managing their own wellness to develop a secure understanding of good practices to maintain their good health.

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.
