What it is like to attend
Children arrive enthusiastically to attend nursery and receive a warm welcome.
They confidently say goodbye to their parents. Children are encouraged to hang up their coats on their labelled pegs. This helps to give them a sense of belonging and builds on their independence. Staff are attentive to children's needs. They talk to parents on arrival, offer children cuddles when required and give reassurance, which helps them to feel safe and secure.
Children are excited to engage in the wide range of activities on offer. They make choices in their play, select resources and show a positive attitude to their learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen the use of questioning to challenge children's thinking and increase their knowledge further n share children's next steps in learning consistently with all parents along with ideas to continue children's learning at home.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £1025.00 a month 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.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
