What it is like to attend
Children enjoy their time at the nursery. The manager and her team create a warm, welcoming and secure environment. Babies are quick to settle in the arms of nurturing staff. Staff are attentive, offering cuddles and reassurance, and they ensure children's individual routines are followed. Children's behaviour is good.
They follow instructions and respond to staff when they are reminded about the expectations. Staff are polite and speak calmly to children. They encourage and praise children, which helps boost their emotional well-being and confidence.
Children who speak English as an additional language receive support to communicate their needs. Staff use some words in their home language alongside
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to raise the quality of their interactions with children so that they stretch and extend children's communication and language skills even further n monitor staff and evaluate their practice more precisely, to raise the quality of teaching to the highest level n develop further the use of planned group activities to ensure all children fully benefit.

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.
