What it is like to attend
Children enjoy their time at the nursery. They arrive happy and settle quickly into the warm and welcoming environment. Children who are new, and become upset, receive comfort and reassurance from staff, who are kind and attentive to their needs. This supports children's emotional well-being as they begin to feel safe and secure. That said, staff do not always utilise the resources they have in order to support parents with the settling-in process.
The curriculum takes good account of children's interests. It builds on what children know and can do, well. Children revel in the outdoor play space. They benefit from fresh air and exercise each day. Children develop their physical skills as they climb the slide, balance, and manoeuvre wheeled toys and cars. They learn about diversity and equality in the local community. They visit local shops, where they taste different foods. Children learn about different faiths and customs that are outside of their own experience.
Staff hold high expectations for children to do well. Children begin to learn about simple rules that keep them safe. They learn to take turns and share. Behaviour is good. Older children become independent in their own personal care. Staff encourage children to try to pour their own drinks. Children learn about healthy eating as they talk about what foods are good for them at mealtimes.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- further enhance the settling-in process to support children as they transition from home to nursery n consider how teaching methods best support children to acquire spoken language and learn new words, so that they make rapid progress.

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.
