What it is like to attend
The provider and staff have brought about rapid improvement at the nursery. There is now a well-qualified and settled staff team, who are motivated and enthused.
The provider has introduced a balanced and effective curriculum. The intent of the curriculum is understood by all staff, who implement it effectively. Staff quickly identify any gaps in children's learning and ensure that the curriculum focuses on supporting them. There is a greater emphasis on developing children's communication and language skills. Staff introduce children to new words as they play, and value babies' early attempts at talking. Overall, staff model language well, holding conversations with children as they play together.
Staff greet children warmly when they arrive and children show great interest in their learning. Children enjoy role play, where they talk about their understanding of doctors, dentists and hairdressers. By immersing themselves in children's play, staff effectively build on what children already know but give them freedom to use their own ideas. Children enjoy close relationships with the staff who care for them.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- promote more opportunities for less confident children to express themselves and share their ideas, views and feeling, especially during group activities n extend the good support for children with SEND across all periods of the day so they experience consistently effective teaching n expand the curriculum to encourage all children to receive clear messages about healthy, nutritious and balanced meals.

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.
