What it is like to attend
Children thrive in this bright and inviting nursery. They behave well and settle quickly as staff know the families and their routines well. Parents feel supported by staff and are happy to drop children off at the door. Children feel safe as they come in and look for their friends. They relish their time outside and demonstrate good physical dexterity as they balance on slopes and navigate obstacles as they ride on tricycles. Staff teach children to take appropriate risks and challenges as they play, building their confidence and self-esteem.
Staff plan and provide a range of inviting activities. This helps children to remain engaged in their play for long periods of time. Toddlers enjoy the sensory feel of shaving foam in messy play. Staff provide small vehicles for the children to make marks in the foam. This supports children to build strong hand muscles in readiness for early writing. Babies enjoy water play, and staff model washing a doll with a cloth. Babies watch staff intently and then copy the actions and wipe the dolls. This helps them to learn about everyday routines. The owner acts with integrity in using the funding that the nursery receives and goes beyond this to provide personalised support to children who need it the most. All children make very good progress in relation to their starting points.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- refine and embed the newly implemented curriculum plans to ensure that staff have more precise intentions about what they want children to learn n support staff to deploy themselves more effectively to ensure that all children are supported even more consistently in their play and learning.

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.
