What it is like to attend
Children thoroughly enjoy their time at this calm, homely nursery. Staff place high importance on supporting children's physical and emotional well-being. They provide opportunities to support children to learn how to calm their bodies and the importance of drinking lots of water. Staff implement flexible routines and transitions that meet the needs of children. Parents state that their children settled quickly and that staff fully support children as they move to the next room and then on to school. Children form meaningful relationships with the staff and each other. Babies smile as they see their key person. Older children talk about staff with fondness. The nurturing attitude of the staff helps children to feel safe and secure.
Leaders have high expectations for all children's learning. They provide an exciting, aspirational curriculum that motivates children's love of learning. Staff allow children to lead their own play. They encourage children to think through and test out their ideas. For example, children eagerly add ingredients into a bowl to make dough. When they notice the mixture is 'too sticky', staff encourage them to think about how they could solve the problem. Children predict they may need more water and explore adding more water. They quickly realise that they need more flour. Children proudly announce that 'it has turned into dough' as they squeeze their mixture. Children become eager learners and make good progress in their learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- consider the arrangement of adult-led activities so that all children fully benefit from these experiences n reflect more closely on staff professional development to help target training that fully contributes and supports children's learning.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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