What it is like to attend
Staff give children and their families a warm welcome as they arrive at the nursery.
Close bonds are evident, and lots of giggling and laughter can be heard throughout the day. Staff motivate children to notice what is unique about themselves. For example, they help babies to recognise their reflection and facial features. Staff plan activities in the local community to provide children with an understanding of the world in which they live. These outings provide children with experiences they might not otherwise have.
Children demonstrate high levels of confidence and self-esteem. Staff teach them to be considerate towards each other. The children play cooperatively and follow each other's ideas. Babies enjoy exploring activities together. Staff teach babies to play peekaboo. Staff have established consistent routines and are skilled at supporting all children to follow them. For example, they use visual representations of the daily timetable and remind children of them before moving from one activity to another. Children particularly enjoy helping the staff. For example, at mealtimes, they help with setting tables and filling jugs with drinking water. Children are confident in their abilities and make good progress in their learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen the delivery of the communication and language curriculum, to more consistently engage children in high-quality back-and-forth conversations that enhance their speaking skills.

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.
