What it is like to attend
Children arrive at the nursery happy and ready to start their day. They are warmly greeted by the kind and nurturing staff, who have high expectations for all children. Children are confident and form strong attachments with staff, which helps them to feel safe and secure. Children's behaviour is excellent. For example, two children enjoy bathing dolls in a doll bath. They splash their dolls in the water and converse with one another. When one child reaches for the washcloth in the bathtub of her peer, she explains that she is using the washcloth and directs her peer to where she can find more. Children learn how to manage disputes with peers and can think of solutions independently.
Managers show dedication in continually building on and improving their outdoor learning environment. Children enjoy the vast array of outdoor learning opportunities available to them. Staff work hard to engage children in experiences that build on their awe and wonder of the world. For example, children grow a variety of organic produce in their garden area, including tomatoes, lettuce and carrots. Children enjoy outdoor storytelling sessions, where they sit on tree stubs in the woodland area. They show joy as they play with dinosaurs and hide them in the outdoor sandpit.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- promote children's independence even further by encouraging them to have a go at carrying out more tasks by themselves n strengthen professional development opportunities to further improve the already good teaching during large group sessions. Nursery

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.
