What it is like to attend
Children are happy and settled at this friendly and nurturing nursery. They form positive bonds with the caring staff and engage in a wide range of stimulating and enjoyable experiences. They demonstrate confidence and a positive attitude as they arrive enthusiastically and wave goodbye to their parents. They are keen to help staff bring the milk inside and quickly engage in their chosen activities. As parents are not currently entering the building, staff greet their key children at the door and plenty of information is posted outside to keep parents informed. Staff plan the curriculum based on children's interests and work hard to make sure every child achieves well. This includes plenty of activities to help children learn outside.
During daily outings, children show curiosity and interest in the natural environment. As they walk to the park, staff make full use of spontaneous opportunities to teach children about the community and environment. Staff use clear and effective questioning skills to help extend children's thinking and understanding. For example, as children show curiosity, staff explain the mechanism for the barge in the lock as it is about to proceed through the gate.
They encourage the children to look up at the sky at the birds, pointing to the red kite as it flies above. Children demonstrate that they feel safe and secure at the nursery and on outings. They behave well and understand what is expected of them, with clear direction and positive acknowledgements from staff.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- embed the system for monitoring the quality of provision, including the recently introduced opportunities for staff to observe each other to improve their practice, so that teaching is consistently of a high standard n help staff to consider how they can support children effectively during transitions in their daily routines, so that children do not become restless and disengaged.

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.
