What it is like to attend
Children show increasing levels of independence, confidence and resilience at this welcoming and friendly nursery. They quickly form trusting bonds with their key person and other staff. If new children become a little upset, staff swiftly offer reassurance to help them feel calm and more settled. Children happily welcome new visitors and keenly share what they are doing. For example, toddlers dress up in dinosaur costumes and proudly show off their roaring skills. Pre-school children add tunnels over a rail track by using foam bricks and eagerly demonstrate how their trains pass through. Praise is plentiful. Staff readily commend children's efforts and achievements. In this way, children develop increasing levels of self-worth.
Daily outdoor experiences provide children with opportunities to practise, develop and refine their coordination in physical fitness. Babies learn to stand and balance on stepping stones, under the watchful eye of staff. Older children gain good spatial awareness as they negotiate tight spaces, navigating around obstacles on tricycles. Being active in the garden and enjoying the fresh air, also enhances children's emotional well-being.
Leaders and staff have high expectations for children's behaviour. As good role models, they assist children to show care and consideration. Older children, in particular, mimic these good qualities well. For example, when some children are in need of more water to extend their play, others recognise this and pour their cups of water into their friend's containers. Acts of kindness, such as these, help to create a mutually respectful environment.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to review and improve the organisation of some routine activities, ensuring factors such as excessive noise are minimised n monitor individual staff's practice even more closely and provide them with a stronger personalised professional development programme.

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.
