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.

Ofsted has looked into a concern about this setting. That means something was raised and Ofsted acted on it. It does not by itself say what was found — the document does.

What it is like to attend

Children are happy, settled and eager to learn. Staff create a calm and nurturing environment, building strong relationships that help children feel safe and secure.

Older children show exemplary behaviour. They show high levels of consideration for others. They actively share toys and tell other children when they have finished so that they can have a turn. Children follow staff's instructions exceptionally well.

For example, they wait patiently and steadily go inside when the rain gets too heavy.

This setting re-registered. It replaced “Pitta Patta Day Nursery” at the same address, which had been registered since 23 February 2006. A change of owner or legal entity gives Ofsted a brand new record, so the inspections below may only cover the time since then.

Before you ring

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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