What the inspector found

One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

What it is like to attend

Staff follow children's interest and encourage them to lead their own learning.

Children have great fun in the outdoor area. They use the natural resources to make 'pasta' for lunch. Children gather lots of resources to make a house for the

'little pigs' as part of their game. This supports children to develop their imaginations. Staff encourage children to help tidy away the resources ready for their lunch. This helps children to take ownership of the nursery. There is an onsite cook, who prepares healthy, home-cooked meals for the children. The nursery uses government guidelines to ensure that meals are well balanced.

What Ofsted told them to improve

To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:

- tailor staff professional development to help them to meet all children's individual needs and help them to maintain consistently good levels of engagement.

Before you ring

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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