What it is like to attend
Staff welcome children warmly at this inclusive nursery. Children settle very well.
They happily leave their parents at the gate and become engaged in planned and purposeful play. Staff and children form positive relationships, which helps children to feel safe and secure. Staff help children to understand the expectations for their behaviour in the nursery and are good role models. Children behave very well.
Leaders design an ambitious curriculum based on children's interests and what they want them to learn. Staff strive to help children to achieve their potential. This helps all children to make good progress from their starting points in development.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- ensure that staff consistently model language correctly and comment on what children do, to help them to describe their own actions n help staff to consistently plan activities to support children's core muscles even more effectively.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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