What it is like to attend
Staff provide a calm and nurturing environment at this nursery, which enables children to feel safe and secure. Staff build very trusting relationships with children.
They know the children extremely well and are attentive to their needs. Children are very confident to explore and show positive attitudes to their learning.
Children enjoy their time in the outdoor area and have lots of opportunity to explore in the fresh air. Staff are highly vigilant, and they teach children the importance of managing tasks. For example, children safely manoeuvre across the balancing beams and jump off blocks. Children have a can-do attitude and understand their own physical capabilities.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- build on staff's knowledge of the curriculum intent so that they are clear on the skills and knowledge they want children to gain from all experiences n look more closely at the impact of staff training, in order to help recognise when staff may need further help to upskill their knowledge.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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