What the inspector found

One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

What it is like to attend

Children arrive happy and eager as they enter this friendly and nurturing nursery.

Staff promote children's happiness and safety effectively; for instance, they help them to settle easily. Staff quickly form strong, caring bonds with children, and children know and understand how to behave. They are kind and respectful towards each other. Staff plan an ambitious curriculum across all the age groups to help support children's learning and development. Staff show a genuine interest and join in, and they respond warmly to babies during the breakfast routine. Staff support babies to walk independently and provide a range of opportunities for them to move throughout the day. For example, babies sit on a push-along wheeled toy and show confidence in their movements.

Babies are supported to develop their physical skills. They listen and respond to simple instructions as staff encourage them to feed themselves. Staff wait for toddlers to speak and communicate first, supporting them to lead a conversation.

What Ofsted told them to improve

To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:

- plan a clear focus on developing staff's understanding of how children grow and develop to help them better support children to learn n consider different ways to extend children's interests and knowledge beyond the nursery.

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.
