What it is like to attend
Children are well cared for by the staff in this nurturing and close-knit nursery.
Babies and toddlers develop caring relationships with their key staff and settle quickly when they arrive each morning. Children are learning to manage their emotions and are supported in this by the attentive staff team, who act as good role models. There are lots of opportunities for physical play. Children squeal with excitement as they practise kicking and throwing balls. Children take managed risks as they challenge themselves by negotiating uneven stepping stones and balance beams when playing outside. This helps to develop their coordination and balance.
Children also demonstrate their resilience as they persevere if they do not initially succeed. Toddlers confidently explore their environment independently, showing great curiosity in seasonal resources. Children develop the muscles in their hands as they persevere using tweezers to pick up conkers, as they practise counting how many they have collected. Pre-school children are challenged in their learning as they begin to learn the sounds that letters represent and make more precise and meaningful marks on a variety of materials.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- enhance staff knowledge and understanding to consistently help children to build on their growing independence.

Still missing for Little Angels Nursery
- Waiting list
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £44.00 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.
