What it is like to attend
Children thoroughly enjoy their time at this friendly nursery. They happily leave their parents at the door. Children settle quickly and confidently join their friends, ready to play. Children of all ages, including the very youngest, develop warm and affectionate relationships with staff. Babies reach for staff, who support them as they explore. Pre-school children eagerly involve staff in outdoor games, singing and laughing as they play together. Enthusiastic staff support children to be safe and develop emotional security.
Children of all abilities, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, make choices about what they want to do. They move around wellplanned rooms, selecting resources that they are interested in. Children enjoy a range of activities that staff plan to support their curiosity. They are encouraged to become independent learners and develop confidence. Staff have high expectations for what children can do and learn. Children are proud of their achievements and eagerly share these with staff. They enjoy the praise they receive from attentive staff. Children understand boundaries, behave very well and have good attitudes to learning. This is supported by staff who have developed a consistent approach to managing children's behaviour.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to recognise how to challenge and extend children's knowledge and learning to support them to make the best possible progress

- Nappies

No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- Is £62.00 a day still the rate? 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.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
