What it is like to attend
Children are happy and settled in this welcoming nursery. They show secure relationships with each other and staff. Children actively share and take turns during play, building friendships and positive attitudes to learning. For example, during outside play, older children ask each other if they can have a turn to sit on the roundabout and willingly swap places. They discuss whose turn it is to push and they stop when someone wants to get off. This shows they understand how to use the equipment safely and show consideration for others.
Children benefit from a broad and balanced curriculum, including regular outings in the local community. Inclusion is promoted exceptionally well. As a result, children show high levels of acceptance and support towards each other, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). This creates a productive learning environment for all children. Staff use their knowledge of what children can already do and plan activities that meet their individual learning needs and interests. As a result, all children make good progress from their starting points.
Staff support children well in gaining personal independence, including skills such as feeding themselves, toileting and putting on their coats and shoes. Older children make choices during play and show good early literacy skills. This helps prepare them for the next stage in their education.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- consider ways to provide more opportunities for children to develop their free creative expression, for example, during creative activities and drawing n review mealtimes for the youngest children to provide them with a more settled and engaging experience.

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.
