What it is like to attend
Children are safe and happy at the nursery. They arrive with big smiles and are excited to explore and engage in the interesting activities that staff carefully plan for them. Children settle in well and develop confidence in exploring their environment. They enjoy playing outdoors and develop their physical skills well. For instance, children run, jump and climb. They balance along beams, use the slide and learn to pedal on bikes. Younger children are beginning to walk and cruise around the furniture. They enjoy the healthy lunch and snacks provided, and feed themselves independently using cutlery. Children enjoy looking at books, listening to stories and singing songs. This helps all children develop their speech and learn new words quickly. Older children enjoy retelling familiar stories about princesses and role play this with one another.
Children behave well. They understand the expectations that staff have of them.
For example, they know to tidy up their toys before moving on to the next activity.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- make better use of routine activities and strengthen opportunities for children to extend their learning further.

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.
