What it is like to attend
Staff greet children warmly and help them settle well in this welcoming environment. Staff form strong bonds with children and their families. They take time to talk to each parent when children arrive. This means that children are supported well as they move from home to nursery. Children feel safe and secure and enjoy positive relationships with staff and one another.
Leaders and staff have worked diligently in response to the last inspection. They have undertaken relevant training, including on safeguarding as well as food handling and preparation. This ensures children are safe and their health is a high priority for staff.
Leaders design the curriculum based on children's interests and what they need to learn next. For instance, children enjoy learning about autumnal festivals. They explore natural materials as they engage with making 'pumpkin stew' as well as when they observe leaves and trees during the walk to the park. Children are keen learners and eagerly get involved in the broad range of activities provided. Children behave well. They learn to follow the routines and to play safely. They benefit from easy access to a wide range of high-quality resources. This helps to support their independence skills and motivates them to learn.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- focus on supporting less confident staff in their professional development to raise the quality of teaching to a consistently high standard n increase opportunities for children to engage in their learning, particularly at times when activities change.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £7500.00 a term 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.
