Where this came from
The outlined line is the one the price was taken from.
Funded hours
15 hours per week for 38 weeks a year or 11 hours a week for 51 weeks a year for 3 years+; 30 hour funding available for some children from 9 months; 2 year old funded children.
Worth knowing. Consumable Contribution will be £5 per week for a child who has 11 or 15 hours funding, or £7 per week for children who have 22 or 30 hours funding. Above charges apply all year round - school term and non-term, as we are open all year round only closing bank holidays and 1 week between Christmas and New Year.

What it is like to attend
Children and staff share very positive relationships and this helps children to feel safe. Staff offer a cheery welcome to parents and children, quickly engaging children in a range of activities. Staff know that since the COVID-19 pandemic, some children need more support when they start nursery. They adapt settling-in sessions to suit the needs of children, which helps them to settle quickly. Staff have high expectations of children and, consequently, children's behaviour is good.
Children are encouraged to be independent and manage their own self-care. They regularly wash and sanitise their own hands and blow their own nose.
Staff and children communicate clearly with each other. Staff know the children well. They understand where children are in their learning and plan purposeful activities for them. Children learn quickly that they can move freely between play areas and different activities. Children of all ages and capabilities are supported to make choices about what they want to play with. Children seek staff out to share books with them and confidently ask for help when they need it. For example, when they struggle with the lid of the glitter pot, they are confident that staff will help them.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- ensure staff consistently support children to make healthy choices and develop healthy lifestyles n ensure that staff understand how to differentiate group activities so that children of all ages can take part.

- Meals
- Nappies
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- Is £48.25 a day still the rate? 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.
