What it is like to attend
Children and parents are warmly welcomed by staff on arrival. Children leave their parents with ease and find their peg. They hang up their personal belongings and take off their jackets before starting their busy day, knowing the routine well. Staff support children who have recently joined the nursery by providing lots of reassurance and helping them to form close bonds. As a result, children feel safe and secure. Children demonstrate positive attitudes to their learning. They are calm, relaxed and show high levels of curiosity and concentration in this nurturing environment.
Staff have high expectations of children's behaviour. Children follow the classroom rules and show respect for each other. Staff use praise and encouragement to promote children's behaviour. Children listen and respond to instructions. Staff put children at the heart of everything they do. They carefully tune in to children's voices to plan a wide range of activities based on their interests and needs. Staff make sure that enough resources are available and organised for children to make choices, indoors and outdoors. For example, children have continuous opportunities to practise pouring with different resources to make it more challenging. The curriculum is ambitious, sequenced and builds on children's past experiences. All children make good progress in their learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- incorporate more mathematical vocabulary and concepts into everyday routines and activities to help widen children's understanding further n support staff to understand the importance of children using their self-help skills consistently at every opportunity to develop their independence.

No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- What does it cost, all in? 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.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
