What it is like to attend
Staff have high expectations of all children, and their well-being is of the utmost importance. Children arrive happy, they form close relationships with staff and make friends. This helps them to settle, and feel safe and secure in this inviting, nurturing setting.
Children thrive in this well-thought-out and stimulating environment. Everything is safe and accessible to children. This enables children to be independent and make choices, which in turn builds their confidence. Children enjoy playing with play dough, they skilfully use a range of tools, such as scissors and various rolling pins to roll and cut it. They also use tools to make marks on the play dough. As they do this the children and staff talk to each other about what they are doing, and the marks they have made. Children use their imaginations and manipulate the dough to create food. This supports children's small hand muscles, imagination and their communication and language skills. Staff are excellent role models. They are kind, respectful and teach children the nursery rules. All children behave well, are motivated to learn, and make good progress. This ensures they are ready and well prepared for their next stage in learning and transition to school.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support all staff to know and understand targeted interventions for those children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) to promote
their ongoing learning and development even further n strengthen partnerships with parents and improve communication, so that all parents are fully informed about the plans for their children's learning. School Club

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.
