What it is like to attend
Children show that they have strong, close relationships with staff and know that staff value them highly as individuals. Staff take time to get to know children well and use this knowledge to provide activities that they enjoy. Children settle well.
Children engage in a variety of stimulating activities. For example, staff teach them about weight as they put objects onto scales. They teach children to count securely and to recognise numbers. Children learn about their feelings and those of others.
For instance, staff give children mirrors to observe their faces and talk to them about different emotions. Children then paint pictures of themselves or other things that represent different emotions, including rainbows to show happiness. Children learn to share and to take turns well. For instance, they take turns as they play group games organised by staff. Children learn to accept and respect difference.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop more ways for children to choose where and when they want to play and learn, particularly to support children who learn best outdoors.

Still missing for St. Andrews Nursery
- Waiting list
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £518.00 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.
