What it is like to attend
Children are eager and excited to enter this warm and nurturing nursery. They develop strong bonds with their friends and staff. Children are motivated to learn and thoroughly enjoy exploring the various activities. Their conversations and laughter resonate throughout the nursery.
Staff have high expectations for children's behaviour. Children behave well. They know what is expected of them and follow the nursery's rules. For example, children know not to run indoors and to use their 'inside voices'. Children understand the daily routines. They ensure that their friends do not miss out on key activities. For example, children eagerly rush outdoors to call their friends in for snack time. Children develop a love of reading from a young age. They enjoy listening to stories with their friends. Children also learn that books can be used for exploring new ideas and gathering information.
Children have a strong sense of belonging and are emotionally secure and content.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - support staff to model the correct pronunciation of words to further extend children's vocabulary.

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.
