What it is like to attend
Staff enthusiastically greet children as they arrive. Children have a strong sense of belonging within this warm and welcoming nursery. Staff support children to find their pictures on labelled coat pegs. Children hang up their belongings, smile and say, 'It's me'. This also helps to promote children's confidence and independence.
Children build positive relationships with key staff. For example, very young children cuddle up to staff as they listen to stories. They regularly return to their key person to say, 'Hello', before they confidently toddle off to explore the environment again. All children demonstrate that they are emotionally secure and feel safe. They are settled, happy and behave very well.
Staff recognise the importance of developing children's understanding of what makes them unique and their family backgrounds. Staff plan a wide range of opportunities to promote diversity within the nursery and beyond, which is embedded within the nursery curriculum. For example, staff plan experiences to help children learn about festivals and beliefs, such as Ramadan, Easter and
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop the key-person approach further to strengthen relationships with parents and provide even greater consistency in children's care and learning n promote children's self-help skills and independence more consistently.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- 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.
