What it is like to attend
Children arrive excited to see staff and begin their session at nursery. They are greeted warmly by their key person and swiftly settle in. All children show high levels of engagement in activities. They benefit from the rich learning environment, which is well planned and stimulating. Staff focus on building children's confidence and independence. For example, children put on and take off their own coats, hanging them up on clothes hangers afterwards, and return resources to the correct place after playing with them.
Supporting children's personal, social and emotional development is at the heart of the curriculum. Each play space has a 'peace area,' where children can sit quietly away from the hustle and bustle of the room. Here, children can think about how they are feeling and talk to staff when they are having difficulties playing with their friends. Behaviour across the nursery is good.
Staff have high expectations for all of the children they care for. Older children are well prepared for their transition to school. They spend time every day writing and reading simple words and learning the sounds that letters make. Younger children confidently explore resources and equipment, choosing the things they are interested in and practising their play skills.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - ensure all staff identify when children are fully engaged in independent play activities, making sure they do not intervene unnecessarily and disrupt children's learning n review some of the nursery's daily routines, making sure children do not spend long periods of time unoccupied and waiting for activities to begin.

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.
