What it is like to attend
Children enter the inviting nursery with smiles on their faces. They soon settle to take part in their chosen activities. Staff develop good bonds with children and know them well. They quickly learn children's verbal and non-verbal cues, which helps staff to understand how children are feeling and supports their personal, social and emotional development. Leaders work diligently with staff, parents and other professionals, where needed, to plan individualised learning and provide specific support. This includes children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), who are provided with targeted plans of support to meet their developmental needs. This is proving effective in identifying and helping to bridge gaps in these children's learning.
Staff incorporate children's interests to help maximise learning opportunities. For example, dinosaur fossils are added to shaving foam. Children use brushes to find them, naturally making marks in the foam. This helps to develop the muscles in their hands for future writing skills. Children behave well and show consideration and kindness to their friends. Staff encourage children to share and take turns, using consistent and effective strategies to help them learn this skill. For example, a sand timer is used to help children understand when it is time to let their friends have a turn with a popular toy.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- plan adult-led activities more effectively to better support the most-able children, ensuring they remain engaged and extend their learning even further n plan more opportunities for children to build on their mathematical skills during everyday play activities.

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
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.
