What the inspector found

One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

Ofsted has looked into a concern about this setting. That means something was raised and Ofsted acted on it. It does not by itself say what was found — the document does.

What it is like to attend

Children arrive at the nursery excited and ready to learn. Staff provide a warm, friendly and nurturing approach to each child's care. Leaders and staff tailor settling-in sessions to the individual needs of the child and their family. This helps children settle quickly with consistent reassurance from staff to help them to feel safe and secure. Staff prioritise children's well-being. They support children to gain a sense of belonging, grow confidence and self-esteem.

Children flourish while discovering and exploring their environments. Leaders have developed a curriculum that is highly ambitious for every child. Additional activities, such as yoga, forest school sessions and swimming classes enrich further the curriculum. Over time, children develop a range of skills that ensure they are well prepared for their next stage of learning. All children, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make progress from their starting points.

Children behave very well. Staff are excellent role models for children. They promote a positive and respectful culture in the nursery. Staff encourage manners consistently and, as a result, children are polite and courteous to each other. They form positive relationships from a young age.

What Ofsted told them to improve

To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:

- continue to develop the already good practice, supporting less confident staff to consistently develop their interactions with children and their teaching skills to an even higher level n support staff during group times to engage and focus all children so they fully benefit from the learning offered.

What to ask them

None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.

  • What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
  • Can I use my funded hours here? 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.
