What it is like to attend
Children are happy, confident and motivated to learn in this nursery. Staff are responsive to children. There are noticeable warm and affectionate relationships between staff and children.
Children develop strong physical skills. Babies stand and hold staff members' hands as they practise their walking skills. Toddlers walk along balance beams with confidence. They have great fun working cooperatively to master the use of the see-saw. Older children manipulate dough with their hands, carefully forming different shapes to create bones for the skeleton. Children enthusiastically express their own ideas and creativity. For example, older children look at themselves in the mirror and create self-portraits. Staff support children by role modelling and giving examples, but they allow children to follow their own interests. This builds selfesteem, and children proudly show off their achievements.
Children behave well. They show respect for one another and staff. They are reminded to follow the nursery rules, such as using 'kind hands' and walking inside.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- give more consideration to how the environment can best be managed so that children are able to focus and consistently hear what is being said to them n enhance the monitoring of staff practice further to ensure that they receive focused feedback and coaching to raise the quality of teaching to a consistently high level n provide even further opportunities for children to independently revisit activities that enable them to practise their skills at their own pace.

Still missing for Trinity Corner Nursery
- Nappies
- Waiting list
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £43.50 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.
