What it is like to attend
Children are warmly greeted by their key person as they arrive at the nursery. They eagerly respond to welcoming cuddles and show delight when they see familiar, caring faces. This results in children happily leaving their parents and quickly settling into the safe and friendly environment. Children are eager to join in with a wide range of interesting activities that are provided. Babies show great focus and determination when placed on their tummies and eagerly reach out for their favourite toy. Older children concentrate intensely as they build tall structures and figure out ways to make them balance. This helps to strengthen children's coordination, physical development and problem-solving skills.
Children's behaviour is good and they happily play alongside one another. Staff are close by to give them gentle reminders to share and offer solutions for minor disputes. This provides children with good reasoning and negotiation skills that will benefit them in readiness for school.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the service of childcare was reduced. Leaders continued to communicate with all parents and those children who stayed at home.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- provide children with more time to think about and respond to questions that staff ask them n strengthen children's understanding of why hygiene practices, such as washing their hands and wiping noses, are important.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £62.00 a day still the rate? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? 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.
