What it is like to attend
Children arrive at the nursery happy and excited for their day. The enthusiastic staff welcome them warmly with open arms. Children confidently enter the wellthought-out and inviting environments that staff plan around children's needs and interests. Two- and three-year-old children thoroughly enjoy listening to staff reading 'The Three Little Pigs' in an animated way. While exploring a range of resources associated with the book, children giggle when staff drizzle straw on their heads. Children are learning to be kind and caring to their friends. They recognise when their friends are struggling to use scissors and offer to show them how to hold and cut with them. Staff boost children's self-esteem by thanking them for their kindness.
Pre-school children show a desire for learning new knowledge, such as when staff encourage them to identify and name some signs of spring in pictures. They confidently recognise blossom and learn new words, such as 'crocus'. Staff encourage children to continue this learning as they explore the forest area, looking for signs of spring. As children move through the nursery, they make good progress in their learning and development as staff understand the nursery curriculum. Staff know what children need to learn next. For example, they encourage babies to pull themselves up to standing to support their physical development. They encourage two- and three-year-old children to develop their fine motor skills as they support them to learn how to cut up their own fruit at breakfast time.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen staff interactions to enhance and extend children's concentration and curiosity even further during spontaneous play experiences.

Still missing for Radmoor Day Nursery & Annexe
- Nappies
- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £71.20 a day 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.
