What it is like to attend
Children are confident and keen to learn. They separate happily from their parents and carers, showing how secure they feel at the nursery. They quickly decide what they want to do, choosing from a varied range of resources which staff provide to support their learning. For example, there is a well-resourced 'creation station'
outdoors where children can choose freely from a wide range of arts and crafts materials to express themselves. Children engage fully in enjoyable activities, such as making mud pies, and interact well with the attentive staff. They are well behaved and willingly follow instructions. They understand routines, such as washing their hands on arrival.
Staff have high expectations for all children, including those who need additional help. They provide tailored support to help them make good progress from their individual starting points. Staff offer praise and encouragement to help children become active learners and support children's learning effectively. For example, they talk to them about what they are doing and ask questions to help them think.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop further the opportunities for children to practise independence skills, particularly those who are moving on to the next stage in their education n enhance staff's understanding of the curriculum to enable them to further support children to make the best possible progress.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £10.85 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.
- 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.
