What it is like to attend
Children arrive happily and immediately settle into playing at this welcoming nursery. They develop warm relationships with staff and feel safe in their care.
Staff thoughtfully organise the nursery environment to promote children's independence. Children of all ages easily access the equipment and resources they need. The use of child-sized furniture allows babies to easily learn to pull themselves up and begin to walk. Staff stay close to them as they play and offer a reassuring cuddle where necessary.
Leaders put in place a rich and varied curriculum which allows children to flourish.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- ensure that those children who have difficulties with their communication and interaction with others, receive the support they need from staff, especially when outdoors, so they can engage more readily in activities n reduce the noise levels in the toddler and pre-school room to make it easier for children to focus, particularly at the start of the day.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
