What it is like to attend
Staff maintain a safe environment for children. This helps children to feel safe and secure. Children build nurturing relationships with kind and caring staff.
Opportunities for babies and toddlers to benefit from close comfort and care are embedded in the staff routines. Younger and less confident children benefit from a strong focus on promoting their emotional well-being. For instance, as babies wake from their sleep, staff offer them cuddles and reassurance, helping them to become familiar with new routines.
Children enjoy a varied curriculum that motivates them to learn. All children make good progress from their starting points. Staff recognise children's individual interests and provide a wealth of opportunities for them to take part in activities they enjoy. For instance, pre-school children are excited to draw. Staff help them to look at their faces in the mirror and copy these. They talk about the changes to their facial expressions when they are happy and pretend to be sad. Children benefit from learning that is new and offers them new challenges. Staff encourage children to take part and to persist when learning is more difficult. For instance, children learn to pedal tricycles, as staff show them how to do this. They praise children for persevering, to support their growing confidence in their new abilities.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- enhance staff understanding of how to use their knowledge of what children know and can do to plan more precisely for their next steps in learning n develop the use of techniques that encourage and support children to communicate their wants, needs and ideas more consistently.

Still missing for Maybury Montessori
- Youngest age taken
- Nappies
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- Is £85.00 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.
