What it is like to attend
The diverse, bilingual staff team offers families a warm and friendly greeting.
Children enter the welcoming nursery with excitement and familiarity. For example, they find their labelled peg to hang up their coat. Staff offer a reassuring cuddle and comfort to children who are a little upset on arrival. This helps them to feel safe and secure and they soon play happily. Overall, staff plan effective educational programmes that give children a good start in life and a wide range of experiences that help them to make progress.
Children over two are especially keen learners who develop independence and skills, such as good focus and concentration, in readiness for school. For example, they thoroughly enjoy investigating tactile media, such as pink shaving foam and brushing model teeth. Staff provide children with excellent opportunities to learn about nature and the world around them. For example, children are excited to point out the tomatoes growing in the garden beds, but not yet ripe enough to pick.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- take greater account of babies' and toddler's stage of learning and interests when planning the outdoor learning environment and adult-led activities n provide more targeted coaching, mentoring and support for staff, to help them to strengthen the quality of their interactions and deliver the curriculum for children's speech and language to a higher level n consistently share information with parents about their children's care and learning, especially those who speak English as an additional language or are less confident with the use of technology.

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.
