What it is like to attend
Children are happy and eager to enter when they arrive at this warm and welcoming nursery. Staff organise the rooms so they are calm and children settle quickly. Children show high levels of involvement in their play. They show resilience and determination during activities. For example, children choose the pair of scissors they want to use and then persevere as they cut the paper. Staff make behavioural expectations clear, and children learn to be respectful of each other.
They listen to their friends' ideas as they build a tower of large bricks. They laugh and giggle when it topples over, and they work together to rebuild it.
Children develop a love of books, stories and rhymes. Babies sit and snuggle with staff as they share a book. They look at the pictures. Staff talk about what they can see and introduce new words. Older children enjoy songs and rhymes. They talk about familiar stories they know. For example, children talk about 'The Very
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - support staff to consistently have high expectations of all children's behaviour so that children always develop a sense of right and wrong.

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.
