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

Staff create a warm and nurturing environment where children feel safe, valued and confident. They encourage children to express their emotions and support them in developing self-awareness. During group discussions, children share their feelings using emotion cards, helping them to recognise and communicate their emotions more effectively. Staff promote physical well-being by incorporating movement breaks and outdoor play, ensuring children stay active and engaged throughout the day.

The setting provides an ambitious and inclusive curriculum that supports all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND)

and those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Staff carefully plan engaging learning experiences that spark curiosity and encourage independence. For example, children take part in hands-on science experiments, storytelling sessions with props and role-play activities that build their language and problem-solving skills. Staff use visual aids and sensory resources to help children with SEND to access learning in a way that meets their individual needs.

What Ofsted told them to improve

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

- encourage staff to work collaboratively to ensure consistent management of children's behaviour, particularly for those with SEND, while exploring strategies to enhance their knowledge and practice in this area n continue to strengthen curriculum planning to further enhance the quality of teaching and provide more tailored support to children's learning experiences.

This setting re-registered. It replaced “The Grosvenor Day Nursery” at the same address, which had been registered since 27 January 2014. A change of owner or legal entity gives Ofsted a brand new record, so the inspections below may only cover the time since then.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £65.00 a day still the rate? 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.
