What it is like to attend
Children thrive in this warm and nurturing nursery, which provides a welcoming
'home from home'. They receive attentive care from their key persons, which helps them to settle and feel secure right from the start. Children move around confidently and make independent choices about their play. They are keen to explore the interesting resources and activities, indoors and outdoors.
Children benefit from a broad curriculum which ignites their interest and supports all areas of their learning. Staff develop children's own fascinations and help them to build on what they know and can do. Children are enthusiastic about the activities provided and enjoy their learning. For example, they display great energy and enjoyment as they role play being firefighters. Children use their imaginations and develop their physical skills as they pretend to put out a fire by spraying water from bottles.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen further the systems to monitor and support staff's professional development, to focus more sharply on staff's individual learning requirements - help staff to provide more consistent support and encouragement for children's critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Still missing for Parkside View Nursery
- Nappies
- Waiting list
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
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- Is £204.00 a week still the rate? 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.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
