What it is like to attend
Children are happy and well cared for at the nursery. They are content in their surroundings and show confidence is making choices about how they spend their day. Babies settle quickly as staff follow their routines from home. They quickly build relationships with adults who readily offer cuddles. This helps babies to feel secure.
Children experience a range of opportunities. For example, a visiting guide dog helps children to learn about how to interact with working animals. A local swimming club visit to teach children about water safety. Children frequently visit a local residential home, where they build relationships with older people. Children gain a deep understanding of the wide world in which they live.
Children's behaviour is good. Toddlers eagerly join in with tidying up and help staff to keep their environment clean and safe. For example, toddlers help staff to sweep up sand. Children learn about their feelings and how to express what makes them feel happy or sad. This helps them to understand and manage their emotions. Children's learning progresses over time as teaching consistently builds on what they already know. Staff have high expectations of children that rise as children get older. For example, children learn additional rules as they progress through each room.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- evaluate how times of transition can be utilised effectively to support children's development n consider how group activities are organised in pre-school to support children's positive behaviour and engagement.

- Nappies

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £80.00 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.
- 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.
