What it is like to attend
Children thrive at this warm and nurturing setting. Leaders and other staff are friendly and welcoming to children and their families. They welcome them warmly each morning and invite parents regularly into the setting for special events, such as the recent Mother's Day celebration. This helps families to feel part of the nursery community.
Leaders and staff have high expectations of what children should achieve during their time at the setting. Staff understand the progress that children have made and what their next steps are. They then plan how to help children to reach these next steps. This helps children to make good progress.
Staff form warm, positive relationships with children. They meet children's emotional needs well and support them well if they need extra comfort. Children behave very well. They understand the clear expectations that staff put in place.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff so that their speaking of English consistently models accurate language to children.

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.
