What it is like to attend
The management team and staff create a warm and welcoming environment where children feel happy, safe and secure. Children arrive at the nursery with a smile on their faces, ready to start their day full of nurturing adventures.
Staff are clear about the nursery rules and children know what is expected of them.
Children explain the 'rainbow rules', learn to share, and show kindness towards one another. Staff provide opportunities for children to raise their confidence and selfesteem, including through praise and encouragement. Children enjoy being 'helpers of the day' and manage various tasks themselves. They develop high levels of independence. For example, toddlers have a go at putting their shoes on and preschool children manage hygiene routines independently. Children pour their drinks and serve their food. They gain the necessary skills in preparation for the next stage in their development and school when the time comes.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- tailor some planned activities to better support children's individual interests and abilities to enhance children's learning even further n shape current support and training for staff to their individual needs to build on the quality of teaching and learning experiences for children.

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.
