What it is like to attend
Children have a great start to their learning at the nursery. They form close relationships with the staff and their peers. Staff create a positive and welcoming environment where children feel settled and secure. The nursery provides a diverse curriculum that is adapted to meet the needs of all children. Staff teach children about animals and life cycles as they observe the process of hatching chicks from eggs and butterflies from chrysalises. They create a sense of awe and wonder for children. Children further develop their understanding of nature as they grow fruit and vegetables. They eagerly look at photos and discuss the newly hatched baby robins found in their flowerpot.
Staff encourage children to be creative and express themselves in a variety of ways. For example, children are eager to explore mark making, skilfully drawing robins. A dedicated music teacher offers children the opportunity to explore music and rhythm. Staff encourage children to collaborate. For example, they work carefully together to build obstacle courses. Children challenge themselves as they climb. Staff support them to take manageable risks in their play with growing confidence. Staff use positive praise with children to encourage good behaviour.
Children understand and follow the rules. Children are very confident. They show genuine kindness to one another, following the lead of staff. For example, children say to each other 'that's a lovely picture' as they enjoy mark making together.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- consistently promote children's independence skills, particularly at mealtimes n develop a plan for training and professional development that focusses on developing staff's practice over time.

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.
