What it is like to attend
Children have a happy and positive start to their education at this nursery. Staff provide a welcoming environment and develop nurturing relationships with children. This helps children to feel safe, secure and ready to learn. For example, babies are drawn to a display of family photos and are delighted to find pictures of themselves and their parents. They are eager to communicate their excitement to staff, using sounds and simple words.
Staff understand the importance of promoting healthy lifestyles for children to help them develop positive habits for later life. For instance, staff ensure that children have many opportunities to be active, such as through daily outdoor play in the nursery garden and during sports and dance sessions. These help children to see exercise as fun.
Staff have high expectations for children. They support them to develop the behaviour, skills and attitudes that they need to be successful in their future learning. Staff provide a wide range of stimulating and adaptable learning experiences, such as sand and dough. These spark children's curiosity and encourage them to explore their individual interests and fascinations. Children demonstrate positive attitudes to learning as they play. for example, older children are energetic, enthusiastic and imaginative in their role play and storytelling.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen staff's interactions with children to promote their communication and language skills even more effectively n help staff to further support children's understanding of feelings and emotions.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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