What it is like to attend
Staff are incredibly positive role models. They show the children high levels of care and love. This helps children to build lasting relationships with their key person.
Children are happy and settled. They enjoy singing and musical activities. Babies smile and laugh as they shake different musical instruments. Older children move their bodies and join in with the words of familiar songs and rhymes. Staff have regular discussions with the children about their feelings and emotions. They support children to self-regulate when they become upset. This works well, and children settle extremely quickly. Children behave well.
Children are thriving at this setting. They have developed positive relationships with each other. Children use their imagination as they play 'mommies and daddies'
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- improve the organisation of activities and key group times with an aim to ensure that all children's learning is maximised n support staff to model language correctly to children as they play in order to build on children's vocabulary and language development.

Still missing for Peter Pan Nursery Gobowen
- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £10.00 an hour 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.
