What it is like to attend
Children are happy and settled in this friendly setting. They are excited to see staff when they arrive. Children greet staff with a big cheery shout of their name and run into their arms for a hug. Children behave well and play harmoniously together.
They take care of their environment, tidying up when asked. Staff act as role models as they talk to children with care and respect. For example, they thank children for following instructions. Staff have high expectations of what children can do and often say, 'You have a try, if you cannot do it then I will help you.' This helps to raise children's confidence and self-esteem.
Children are keen to explore learning opportunities, which staff offer based on their interests. For example, children show their imagination as they play with smallworld toys. When children are playing, staff talk to them about their own life experiences. This helps children to hear language in context, which supports their early understanding and language development. Children use their early reading skills and find their written name to record their arrival at pre-school. They show good levels of independence, and access the bathroom and manage their own personal needs. This contributes to children being ready for starting school.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- help staff to broaden children's understanding of potential hazards when they use internet enabled devices n support staff to recognise when children who are quiet and less confident need support to engage in learning experiences.

Still missing for Quorn Nursery School
- Waiting list
No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- Is £6.00 an hour still the rate? 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.
