What it is like to attend
Leaders and staff design the rooms with similar furniture and shared themes to help children feel comfortable as they move through the nursery. They plan indoor and outdoor spaces to encourage children to explore, be active and learn through play. Children understand expectations and are well motivated to learn.
Staff show warmth and kindness. Children trust staff and form close bonds with them. Staff watch children carefully and step in with support when needed.
Children show they feel confident to try new things and enjoy their time at nursery.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- use assessment information to plan across all areas of learning so that teaching is precisely matched to each child's individual needs.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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