What it is like to attend
Children develop well and are supported by enthusiastic, caring and dedicated staff. Children follow routines and respond well to instructions and directions. They listen carefully and their behaviour is good. The intent and impact of the curriculum is clear. Staff support children who speak English as an additional language well, providing translated key words and sign language. They also support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) using Makaton and objects of reference. Children feel included and valued.
The outdoor areas include natural surroundings with trees, a mud kitchen, logs to sit on and wooden climbing frames. These areas are extremely well thought out to accommodate different ages and children's interests. Children are happy and engaged when playing outdoors. Staff have developed robust settling-in procedures to support transitions for children starting the at the nursery or moving between rooms. Leaders take a flexible approach and stagger transition for children who need extra time and support. Parents are invited to information evenings prior to their child starting. Leaders and staff have carefully planned a school-readiness programme to support children in the pre-school room with developing skills and meeting new teachers, and to help prepare them for change.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- ensure that language is consistently and correctly modelled, and allow children time to think and process information, to further develop their communication skills n provide opportunities for children to explore real-life experiences through their play.

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.
