What it is like to attend
Children are eager to enter this vibrant nursery. They wave their parents goodbye at the front door and greet their friends with hugs. Children are happy, feel safe and have a strong sense of belonging. Staff support children's personal, social and emotional development exceptionally well. They have devised a bespoke settling-in programme for each child and spend time getting to know their families. This helps children to settle incredibly well and supports their emotional well-being.
Staff are good role models and provide children with clear expectations for their behaviour. Children are kind, behave well and show care towards each other. They know what staff expect of them. Overall, staff use what they know about children to plan an ambitious curriculum. This helps children to develop the necessary skills in readiness for their next steps in learning, including their eventual move on to school.
Children are confident and self-assured individuals. They are keen to showcase their dance moves and to demonstrate how toys operate. Staff support children's love of reading effectively. They encourage children to read books with their friends and to talk about the illustrations. Children relish enacting the roles of characters from stories. They talk to staff about visiting the library and sharing books with their families. Staff support children's imaginations well. They help children to build
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- help staff to have a better understanding of what leaders intend children to learn n support staff to use the correct vocabulary and letter sounds consistently, to help children make better progress in their communication and language.

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.
