What the inspector found

One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

What it is like to attend

Children are happy and demonstrate that they feel safe in the welcoming nursery.

As children arrive, they are excited to explore and play with their friends. They leave their parents with ease and greet staff with smiles as they share their news.

Children behave exceptionally well. They clearly understand the high expectations staff have of them. Children are mostly confident and self-assured because their opinions are truly valued. For example, older children engage in meaningful discussions with staff about what activities they would like to have access to. This helps staff plan an interesting learning environment.

What Ofsted told them to improve

To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:

- consistently use information from assessment to precisely plan children's learning based on what they already know and can do n support staff to consistently implement strategies to support children who speak

EAL effectively n enhance partnership with parents so all parents are fully aware of what their child is learning and how they can best support this at home.

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.
