What it is like to attend
Since the last inspection, there have been several improvements made. Leaders have worked hard to drive the required improvements within the nursery. Staff have a clear understanding of what they want children to learn. They plan a relevant curriculum that meets the individual needs of the children. As a result, all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities are making good progress in their learning. Staff are kind and caring and give children the cuddles and reassurance they need. This helps children to be confident, happy and settled in the care of the staff. Staff implement appropriate behaviour management strategies that support children to learn how to behave. Staff support children to play cooperatively together, sharing and taking turns with toys and resources.
Staff motivate children to stay engaged for long periods. For instance, they encourage children to join familiar phrases, helping develop speaking skills. For example, when staff read 'Jake and Tizzy', older children join in and finish sentences and enjoy listening to stories. Staff support children to develop their use of their imaginations. For instance, they provide a wide range of resources, such as water, citrus fruits and herbs, for young children to make 'potions'. Younger children squeal with delight as staff play peekaboo in the garden with them. Staff nurture children well and help them enjoy the time they spend at this welcoming and friendly nursery.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- provide more opportunities for children to count and use mathematical language in their play to further their knowledge of numbers and mathematical concepts n continue to improve communication with parents by sharing ideas on how they can support their children's learning at home.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £10.00 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.
