What it is like to attend
This nursery is very welcoming and safe. Children enter the nursery happily and confidently as they hang up their coats and bags. Staff greet children warmly. They chat together about what they might do that day. Children are able to access a wide range of resources and enjoy taking part in the activities provided that inspire and motivate them. They are eager to start to play and learn as a result.
Children behave well. Staff support children's emotional well-being sensitively and with patience and care. Children learn to be kind to each other, to share and to take turns. They develop good social skills as they play together. They learn to cooperate, negotiate and be considerate of others. This helps to prepare them well for their move to school.
The nursery places a strong focus on making sure that children develop their communication and language skills well, including a love of books and stories.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - ensure that any daily routines are planned so as to minimise any disruption in children's learning n seek information from parents about what children already know and can do when they join the nursery and use this to inform staff's assessments and planning for children's next steps in their learning and development.

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.
