What it is like to attend
Staff greet children at the start of their day at nursery. Staff design an environment and plan activities that build on what children already know and can do. For example, they have created extensive role-play areas, where children can use their play to explore familiar situations. Children confidently recreate their experiences from home. Staff know children well and which resources they are drawn to. They use this to introduce new experiences to develop children's confidence to play with a wide range of toys.
Staff make sure that song and story times are fun and animated. Children go quickly to sit on the carpet when it is time to hear a story. They join in to perform the actions to familiar songs. This helps children to develop their recall skills and love of books from a young age. Children of all ages enjoy messy and sensory play.
For instance, they mix sand and scoop it into containers. Staff use activities such as these to help children to develop strength in their hands, in readiness for when they start to write. Children behave well and their independence is well promoted throughout the day. They learn the skills that they need to ensure that they are well prepared for the next stage in their learning, including starting school.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- give children enough time to formulate responses to questions to help them develop their early language skills n enable staff to undertake their key-person roles to ensure children settle well into the nursery and become familiar with the daily routine.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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