What it is like to attend
Children play alongside one another in this happy nursery. Staff support them to quickly settle into the nursery routines by providing emotional warmth and reassurance. As a result, children play and explore the environment confidently.
Staff provide children with a range of interesting learning opportunities. For example, babies investigate light up toys and mirrors that promote the development of their senses. Older children engage in a range of mark-making activities, such as drawing in flour. This helps them to learn that letters carry meaning. Children are well prepared for their onward education.
Children's attitude to their learning is positive because staff model the expected behaviours. For example, staff teach babies to stop and look before they move down the slide. Staff enable pre-school children to learn how to cooperate by asking them to put the name cards out together. Communication is given high priority by the staff team. Children's spoken language progresses well because staff provide focused activities to support them to acquire language skills. Daily stories and songs are taught to help children learn new words such as 'mountain' and
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop staff understanding of the curriculum further so that teaching is always well matched to what children need to learn next n provide parents with more specific guidance on how to support their child's learning at home.

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.
