What it is like to attend
Staff are friendly and make children, parents and visitors feel warmly welcome at the nursery. They take the time to get to know how to help children to settle and feel at ease to be ready to learn. The curriculum is ambitious. Staff nurture children to develop the right skills to equip them as they transition through the nursery.
They are knowledgeable about what their key children know and can do. Staff plan for children's next steps in learning appropriately. All children make good progress.
Children show they are happy and enjoy interacting with staff and their peers.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- improve the organisation of group activities to ensure that all children are able to access the learning n plan more effectively for the most able children to help them to make the very best possible progress in their mathematical development.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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