What it is like to attend

At this nursery, staff warmly welcome children from diverse cultures and backgrounds, many of whom speak English as an additional language, such as

Japanese and Spanish. Staff go out of their way to collect information from parents about children's learning needs, including their English skills. This enables staff to provide children with high-quality care and education. Parents find that their children thrive in this nurturing and supportive environment. For example, children who were initially shy have now gained confidence in their social skills. Staff's approachable and friendly demeanour supports children in forming secure attachments with them. This provides children with a strong base to feel safe and secure.

Staff help children to make sensible choices about their learning, encouraging them to play well together. Children learn to follow the nursery's rules and boundaries.

What Ofsted told them to improve

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

- explore opportunities for children to learn about their communities to enhance their learning experiences n sharpen staff monitoring to identify training needs and develop teaching to the highest possible standards.

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.
