What it is like to attend
Staff create a friendly and warm atmosphere. They greet children with an enthusiastic welcome each morning. Children arrive happy and settle quickly. This is a friendly nursery where children are content and eager to learn. Children are provided with opportunities to practise what they already know and also to try new things. Staff have high expectations of children and teaching provides challenge to extend knowledge and skills beyond current capabilities. For instance, children are encouraged to half-fill, fill and empty containers. This challenging task extends children's knowledge of measurements and quantity in very practical, hands-on ways. Children are curious to learn. This curiosity and intrigue creates a foundation to learning through exploration. They eagerly find hidden numbers in sand, squealing and giggling as they locate the missing items. Children begin to recognise numbers during this exciting task. Mathematics is skilfully weaved into everyday play. Children enjoy books. Stories are delivered in an animated and fun manner. Staff's enthusiasm, humour and energy help to excite children about literacy. This promotes a love of reading from a very early age.
Staff praise children continually and small rewards are used to help to celebrate children's achievements. Children behave well. They understand what is expected of them, follow instructions and are helpful and considerate towards others. For instance, children show delight when they help their friends at lunchtime. They show a sense of self-worth, emotional resilience and friendships flourish. The manager is acutely aware of the impact the recent COVID-19 pandemic has had on families and children. Staff report that children's emotional confidence has been affected by recent lockdown restrictions. In response, activities specifically aimed to build children's emotional confidence and social skills are provided. Children enjoy their time in this friendly and stimulating nursery.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen partnerships with parents. Provide practical, simple ideas for parents to continue to support children's learning at home and help children to make rapid progress n consider the views of parents, staff and children and identify clear targets to improve and raise already good outcomes for children even more.

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.
