What it is like to attend
Children demonstrate good levels of independence as they explore the nursery environments. Older children access resources they want to use to enhance their play experiences. They collect a clipboard and pencil to write food orders in the role-play area, which staff have currently set up as a cafe. Babies have many opportunities to explore their homely environment. Staff arrange the furniture and floor space so babies can safely crawl or pull themselves up to move around the room.
Nursery leaders ensure that children get off to a good start. They find out relevant information, such as children's interests and care needs, as part of the induction arrangements. Children settle quickly into the nursery routines. They make strong attachments with staff, especially their key person. Staff are very quick to respond if a child needs a cuddle or some reassurance. Children show, by their good behaviour, that they feel happy and safe.
Nursery leaders place a high priority on supporting children with their language development. They review and adapt the curriculum to ensure that all children have the appropriate levels of support they need to progress. Staff plan specific activities that help children to develop their understanding of words and communicate their needs.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- plan opportunities for children to learn about different cultural communities that shape the rich diversity of the modern world n strengthen the professional development arrangements for staff, to focus on enhancing their teaching skills, so the quality of education is consistently outstanding across the nursery.

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.
