What you might pay

What it is like to attend
Children do very well in this bright, peaceful, yet stimulating nursery environment.
Calming, relaxing music plays in the background. Children are welcomed in by staff who provide a warm, nurturing atmosphere, and show genuine care for their wellbeing. Children are happy, confident and independent learners who thoroughly enjoy the time they spend at the nursery. For instance, children play confidently alongside staff and are keen for them to share in their play. A lot of love and attention allows children to be successful and form strong bonds with the nursery's staff and each other. Children behave very well and they are considerate to each other. They know how to share and take turns when playing. Staff act as positive role models and have high expectations for children's conduct. They promote positive behaviour by offering children regular praise and encouragement. They use clear, simple explanations to promote the child's understanding. This helps children feel valued and respected. It boosts their confidence to help them learn and be kind to others. Children are familiar with the routines and structure of the day. For instance, when the bell rings, children put their hands up to show that they are listening and wait for instructions.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff working in the pre-school room to extend all children's learning experiences and provide them with even higher levels of teaching and interaction n review the arrangements in place for staff supervision and ensure that all staff receive consistent coaching and professional development opportunities, to raise the quality of teaching to the highest level.

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.
