What it is like to attend
Leaders have created an extremely welcoming and inviting environment. Children are greeted by kind and friendly staff. Staff's warm smiles make children feel at ease, and they happily enter the nursery, keen to start their day. Throughout the day, children show they are happy and relaxed at nursery. Staff plan the day so children quickly learn what is going to happen next. Children learn to move safely around the nursery. Older children gather together quickly for group times.
Through these routines, children are learning to listen, follow instructions and be aware of the needs of others.
Leaders have designed an extremely well-considered, ambitious curriculum. Central to the curriculum is children's language development. Staff plan meticulously how they can introduce children to new words and phrases. Many of the children who attend speak English as an additional language. Staff skilfully help these children make the links between the language they hear at home and the new words they learn at nursery. Staff support children who need extra help to make the progress of which they are capable effectively. The high-quality learning experiences that,staff deliver help ensure children make good progress and develop positive attitudes to learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- focus support for staff on developing their skills and confidence further in supporting children in their self-chosen play.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- What does it cost, all in? 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.
