What it is like to attend
Children leave their parents and carers with ease as they arrive at the nursery.
They are greeted warmly by staff and show great independence in the morning routines. Children settle straight down to activities that interest and engage them.
They behave well. Children understand what is expected of them. Staff act as positive role models and are quick to support children to make the right choices when they sometimes forget. Children learn to put words to their emotions through stories and activities. For example, children discuss their feelings and compare these to a story about a monster. Children link the different-coloured monsters to their feelings when they describe what they draw. Children feel safe and secure.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- consider the impact on children's listening skills from background noise, to ensure that children can listen effectively and gain a greater understanding of vocabulary and its context n ensure that children's next steps are shared with parents to improve the continuity of children's learning at home.

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.
