What it is like to attend
Friendly and caring staff greet children on arrival at this warm and welcoming nursery. Staff form positive relationships with all children. Older children arrive happy and excited to enter the nursery. They often forget to say goodbye to their parents in their eagerness to enter. Babies smile and become excited at the sight of their key person. Children feel happy and safe at the nursery.
Children display high levels of curiosity, concentration and enjoyment. They show a positive attitude to their learning. Children show resilience and a can-do attitude.
They slide down a hill in the snow in their waterproof suits, before climbing back to the top to have another go. Children laugh and giggle as they throw snowballs at each other. They listen intently and respond positively to adults and other children.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen the learning intention of activities to ensure suitable challenge for all children.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £50.00 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.
