What it is like to attend
Children enjoy attending this warm and welcoming nursery. They demonstrate confidence and self-assurance as they arrive and quickly engage in activities with their friends. Children excitedly explore the recently improved environment and are focused in their play. They show positive attitudes to learning through high levels of curiosity and engagement.
Children benefit from a curriculum that supports their personal, social and emotional development. Staff are well-qualified and are kind, patient and nurturing in their approach. This helps young children to develop positive attachments and confidence in readiness for learning. Older children are encouraged to develop the essential skills they need in readiness for school. They are becoming confident communicators, good listeners and can skilfully manage their feelings and emotions. Children learn the importance of leading healthy lifestyles. They benefit from healthy meals and snacks and engage in daily energetic play in the fresh air.
Children are also able to access the on-site soft play facility, where they can further develop their gross-motor skills, such as climbing, balancing and running.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to make the most of opportunities when interacting with children, to further develop children's thinking, understanding and learning n consider the use of dummies and the impact that this has on children's emerging communication and language skills.

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.
