What it is like to attend
Children are eager to enter the busy nursery. The caring, friendly staff help them to feel safe and ready to play. Staff understand how young children learn. Two-yearold children become engrossed in exploring a collection of little socks. They carefully put the socks onto dolls' feet. This helps children's small-muscle development. Children find socks that match. This encourages them to look closely at shapes, colours and patterns. Pre-school children ably apply their knowledge that colours and written words have meaning. When staff hold up familiar cards, children have great fun playing percussion instruments 'fast' or 'slow'. This promotes children's early literacy well.
The atmosphere in the nursery is lively and purposeful. Children's deep involvement in self-chosen activities, supported by knowledgeable staff, promotes their positive behaviour and learning. Parents and carers say that children develop self-help skills at the nursery. For example, the parents of two-year-old children are pleased and surprised when children put their own jacket away. Parents' praise promotes children's confidence and self-esteem. It makes children eager to learn more skills. Support for children who speak English as an additional language is a strength of the nursery. Staff create lots of interesting reasons for children to listen and communicate.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- help staff to focus even more closely on the detail of their interactions with children, so that these are consistent across the team and children make the swiftest possible progress in their learning n review routines in the pre-school room, so that teaching helps all children to participate and develop really positive attitudes to learning.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £48.00 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.
- 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.
