What it is like to attend
Children arrive at nursery eager to start their day. Staff form loving relationships with the children. Each time a member of staff enters a room, children beam with excitement as they run towards them for a cuddle. Staff create a sociable environment where children talk confidently about their experiences. Children feel safe and secure.
Children benefit from a range of experiences both indoors and outdoors. Young children develop their imaginations in the role play area as they pretend to make breakfast for their friends. Older children learn about sharing while building tall structures alongside their peers. They develop their listening skills as they join in with story time in the outdoor book area. Children are making good progress. They engage in self-chosen learning experiences throughout the day. They confidently explore the environment and select from the resources available to them. Staff enthusiastically support children's engagement in learning. For example, children laugh and smile as staff engage the children's recall skills to act out stories such as
'We're Going on a Bear Hunt'. Children are developing positive attitudes to learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to implement the curriculum for communication and language more effectively, to further benefit children's critical thinking and speaking n encourage staff to consistently provide opportunities for children to develop their independence.

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
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.
