What it is like to attend
Children are settled and happy in this caring nursery. They have warm and affectionate attachments with staff and demonstrate that they feel emotionally secure. Children enthusiastically engage in rich and varied play experiences that are planned by staff to reflect the children's individual interests. Babies have plenty of space to support their physical development and quickly gain confidence to explore the exciting environment. Older children receive constant encouragement and praise when they attempt to do things for themselves. This helps to build their independence and self-esteem.
Staff have high expectations of children and have a good understanding of how children learn. The managers and staff provide a fun-filled environment for children to play outdoors. Children relish playing in the outdoor area. They demonstrate confidence in their abilities, taking calculated risk when running, jumping, climbing and balancing across the obstacle course. They use their imagination and pretend they are searching for small, shiny treasure with their torches. Children enjoy weekly yoga sessions. They develop their coordination and physical skills.
Staff act as positive role models, and children know how they should behave. For example, they say 'please' and 'thank you' as they share resources willingly.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen the arrangements for working with parents so that they feel listened to and they have time to talk to staff about their child's day n develop staff's teaching skills further to help children engage in an open dialogue and fully extend their vocabulary.

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.
