What it is like to attend
Children are happy at this nursery. They are warmly greeted by staff as they confidently separate from their parents on arrival. Children keenly self-register and hang up their coats ready to begin the day. Staff demonstrate a genuine interest in each individual child in their care and develop warm relationships with them.
Children feel secure and staff allow them to sit on their laps and give them reassuring cuddles when they need it. This helps build trusting relationships between children and adults.
The curriculum is carefully planned and well sequenced. Children learn about themselves and the world around them from topics such as 'Celebrations' and
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- provide consistent support for individual children's understanding of their good physical health so they develop behaviours that support their personal wellness.

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.
