What it is like to attend
Children are happy, settled and safe at this fully inclusive nursery. Leaders and staff have designed an exciting and varied curriculum to meet the developmental needs and interests of the children in their care. For example, staff support children to become physically active. Babies learn to pull themselves up, in preparation for walking. Toddlers are confident to safely climb apparatus, and pre-school children take part in weekly activities provided by sports coaches. Staff keenly follow children's experiences and interests. For example, staff have introduced children to an additional language following their summer holidays. Children are learning key words in Spanish. They are beginning to show a good understanding of their new language, as they call out 'adios' when visitors leave their room.
Leaders and staff place a strong emphasis on building secure attachments with children and their families. This helps children to settle into the nursery quickly and be ready to learn. Staff have high aspirations for children, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities, children who speak English as an additional language (EAL) and children in receipt of additional funding. The effective key-worker system and accurate use of assessment means that gaps in children's learning are identified and swiftly acted on. All children are well prepared for their next steps in learning. Staff set clear expectations for behaviour.
Consequently, children behave well, and they share and wait their turn during group activities. Staff model how to treat others with respect. Children are kind to each other and say please and thank you to each other.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- review the organisation of lunchtime care routines to ensure that young children do not wait for extended periods to receive their food.

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.
