What the inspector found

One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

Ofsted has looked into a concern about this setting. That means something was raised and Ofsted acted on it. It does not by itself say what was found — the document does.

What it is like to attend

Children receive a warm welcome from cheerful staff when they arrive at nursery.

Since the last inspection, the nursery has adopted a curriculum that is based on children's individual interests. Children make choices about what they want to play with. This motivates all children, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to be highly engaged, independent learners. Staff support children's learning well. They provide opportunities and experiences that take account of children's interests. Furthermore, they use incidental opportunities to extend children's learning. For instance, they ask children to count the number of blocks in a tower they build, or to identify shapes they can see around them.

This supports children's understanding of early mathematical knowledge well.

What Ofsted told them to improve

To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:

- implement strategies to support children's emerging communication and language skills consistently n support staff to embed the expectations for good behaviour effectively so that children understand the rules and boundaries that are in place.

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.
