What it is like to attend
Children enjoy their time at nursery. Staff put a strong focus on the emotional security of children. They provide plenty of reassurance to ensure children feel safe, secure and happy. Children settle well and grow in confidence. They proudly announce, 'I love nursery'. Staff promote children's independence well. For example, children use jugs competently as they pour drinks of water for their friends at lunchtime. Children choose which activities and resources they want to play with, and staff encourage them to tidy up at the end of the session.
Staff plan activities and experiences which follow children's current likes and interests. Older children join in excitedly as staff read a favourite story about a hungry caterpillar. Children call out repeated refrains and are keen to say what they see, or what will happen next. This helps children to develop an early love of books and stories. Following the story, children relish the opportunity to join in activities based on it. They develop their small-muscle skills as they create caterpillars with dough and use potatoes and paint to print their own colourful butterflies. Children enjoy plenty of time playing outside in all weather. They laugh enthusiastically as they jump and splash in puddles following a recent rainfall. They practice filling, pouring, and emptying as they use a variety of containers in a water tray.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- extend parent partnerships even further to establish a more collaborative approach to maximise children's learning n consider ways to refine planning to consistently engage children in play and learning at times when children lose focus.

Still missing for Tiger Lily Day Nursery
- Nappies
- Waiting list
No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £81.50 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.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
