What it is like to attend
Children are happy and settled in this welcoming nursery. They are warmly greeted by the staff on arrival and receive lots of reassurance if they are upset. These positive interactions support children's emotional well-being and help them to develop strong attachments. Children generally demonstrate good behaviour and follow the nursery routines well. They learn to share and to be kind to others. The nursery is inclusive and welcomes staff and children from a diverse range of backgrounds. Children enjoy sharing their experiences from home and happily celebrate special events together. This helps them to understand and respect their similarities and differences.
Staff plan the activities carefully, with children's individual needs in mind. They have high expectations for all children. Leaders use additional funding effectively, to help children access the curriculum. For example, children are provided with special resources or one-to-one learning support. Children demonstrate positive attitudes to learning. They explore the vibrant indoor and outdoor areas with curiosity and confidence. Children spend extended periods building with construction toys. They develop their physical skills as they move and stack the blocks. Children make links with a familiar story as they explain they have created a house for 'Owl Babies'. They use their imaginations to describe the rooms and the characters who live there.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - support staff to promote a wider range of personal care skills, especially for older and most-able children n review and improve the deployment of staff, to provide consistent support for children's learning throughout the daily routines.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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