What it is like to attend
Children are happy and settle well as soon as they arrive. They confidently leave parents and carers at the door. Staff are kind, attentive and calm with children.
They are especially sensitive to the needs of babies and offer them good physical and emotional comfort when they need it. Children make good progress in their learning during their time at the nursery and gain a range of skills that aid their eventual move to school. Staff encourage children to use their literacy skills to write their name on their pictures. Children form recognisable letters. Imaginary play is popular with the children. They use a selection of resources in the mud kitchen and explain how they make lentil soup.
Children develop independence skills. For example, babies feed themselves with finger food and staff encourage toddlers to put on their coat for outdoor play. Preschool children use spoons to self-serve their lunch. Children speak fondly about the nursery. They tell visitors they like attending nursery and add they like playing in the garden and with toys. Children have a very good understanding of the nursery 'promises'. During group time, pre-school children confidently recite the
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop staff skills, so that they can help pre-school children to consistently lead and extend their own learning and develop their thoughts and ideas n review some transition periods for toddlers to ensure that they are consistently purposefully engaged in learning.

What to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? 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.
