What it is like to attend
Children develop a love of learning at this nursery. They benefit from a curriculum designed to provide them with rich and varied learning experiences that are new to them. Staff support children to develop the skills and confidence they will need throughout their education and into their adult lives. Children excitedly recall a recent trip on a train and show visitors the movements they have learned from a ballet class. They proudly share their achievements with staff as they manage to walk on stilts for the first time. Children develop positive attitudes to learning.
Staff know the children they care for well. They gather information from parents, colleagues and external agencies to ensure that they fully understand the needs and interests of their key children. Children are keen to join in with the exciting activities that staff deliver. They are supported well in transitions to the next room.
Staff sensitively reassure them as they introduce them to the new environment.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen staff's understanding of how children learn in all aspects of their development so that children's progress is consistently promoted to the highest level.

Still missing for Little George's Nursery School
- Nappies
- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £60.00 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.
