What it is like to attend
Children arrive happily at the nursery and quickly become immersed in their play and learning. Staff warmly welcome children and know them well. Children enjoy the time they spend at nursery. They freely talk to staff about their weekend and what is happening at home. Children follow the flexible routines and behave well.
They have a good understanding of the rules and expectations of the nursery, which helps them to feel safe and secure.
Children make good progress and gain a range of skills and knowledge that prepares them for their future learning. They learn to play cooperatively and to be considerate of others. Staff sensitively support children to take turns. For instance, they use an egg timer so that children have a visible tool to help them recognise when their time is up and it is time to share with other children. Staff ensure that children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are well supported. Staff develop activities so that children can join in and enjoy the experiences. During story time, staff use sign language and visual aids to support understanding of the story. Children relish being chosen to role play a character and repeat phrases they remember.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- review group activities to ensure all children are included and engaged, and support their learning to a higher level.

Still missing for St Marys Community Nursery CIC
- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £50.62 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.
