What it is like to attend
Staff greet children with a smile as they arrive full of excitement ready for the day ahead. Children separate from their parents with ease and explore the learning opportunities that staff have created for them. Leaders and staff have designed an interesting curriculum to ignite children's curiosity. Children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities and children in receipt of additional funding, are supported effectively. The key-person system is effective and accurate use of assessment means that gaps in children's learning are swiftly identified. All children make good progress in their learning and development.
Staff model expectations for children's behaviour and routines. For example, staff play a song to indicate it is tidy-up time. Children eagerly work together to tidy up.
Staff reward positive behaviour with praise and encouragement. Children know what is expected of them. Overall, they are well behaved and demonstrate positive attitudes to their learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- organise and plan adult-led activities so all children can fully engage in learning n give children time to think and respond when engaging in conversations to help extend their communication skills further n strengthen the delivery of the curriculum to consistently help children develop their independence skills.

Still missing for Newton Westpark Nursery
- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £36.00 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.
- 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.
