What it is like to attend
Children are welcomed warmly by the friendly staff. They arrive happy and eager to start their day. Staff form secure bonds with children, which helps them to feel safe and secure. There is an atmosphere of care, nurture and love throughout the nursery. Staff implement an ambitious curriculum that enables all children to make good progress in their learning and development. Children enjoy the wide range of activities available to them. For example, younger children smile and laugh as they splash in the water tray. Older children spend time rolling dough with their hands, explaining, 'I want to make a ball.'
Children behave well. Staff have high expectations of children's behaviour. They show respect and listen to what children say. They provide gentle reminders and explanations to help children learn about rules and boundaries. Staff help children learn about different emotions. Children show excitement as they work together to create an emotions board and discuss what makes them feel happy. Children declare, 'My mummy and daddy make me feel happy,' as they add their drawings to the board.
The key-person system is effective. Staff spend a great deal of time gathering information from parents and learning about what makes each child unique. The provision for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities is strong, and they make good progress. Staff work effectively in partnership with other agencies involved in children's care, learning and development.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- continue to support staff to recognise when to follow children's interests and fascinations to further support their curiosity and engagement.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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