What it is like to attend
Children are happy and settled in this calm and nurturing nursery. Staff have children's best interests at heart and continually ensure their safety and well-being.
For example, staff consider the weather and any hazards when deciding to take children to play outside. Leaders monitor the daily ultraviolet rays to make sure that children are protected with sun cream in sunny weather. Staff respond quickly to babies' and children's needs. As a result, children build strong relationships with all staff and feel emotionally secure in their care.
Children follow the daily routines of the nursery well. For instance, they listen to and follow instructions from staff to wash their hands before eating or taking part in baking activities. Children are patient and gladly wait for their turn as they work together to measure out ingredients to bake biscuits. Older children in the nursery take on the role of 'helpers' and help to set the tables during snack and mealtimes.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen the monitoring of staff's practice to ensure that they support and build on children's skills and knowledge consistently across the nursery.

What to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- Is £51.96 a day still the rate? 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.
