What it is like to attend
This family orientated nursery is at the heart of the community. Leaders strive to bring people together and offer support to all families and children that they can.
They prioritise children feeing safe and secure and getting them ready to thrive in a learning environment, full of choices and fun.
Staff are dedicated to the nursery and genuinely care about the children. Children form close bonds to staff and regularly run to them for hugs or to engage them in playful interactions. Staff know children well and create an environment where children regularly smile, giggle and chat excitedly with both staff and their peers.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- establish more productive links with other settings that children attend to promote continuity of care and a shared approach to children's learning n enhance staff's understanding of how to promote the home cultures and backgrounds of children who attend, to support children's understanding and enhance their sense of uniqueness n improve the process to identify children who may be eligible for additional funding to support their learning, such as the early years pupil premium.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £60.00 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.
- 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.
