What it is like to attend
Children settle quickly at this nurturing and caring nursery. They form strong relationships with staff. Babies smile at staff and enjoy cuddles for comfort, and older children enjoy talking to staff and inviting them to join in their games. Staff have high expectations for children, and children demonstrate excellent behaviour.
Children develop their communication skills well. For example, they join in with a range of familiar nursery rhymes and ask and answer engaging questions in their play. Children enjoy imaginative play. For example, they make mud pies outside, scooping and stirring mud while discussing their toppings with staff. Inside, children make cakes with malleable materials, singing as they play.
Children benefit from engaging learning experiences at this inspiring nursery. For example, pre-school children learn about planting and growing as they plant sunflower seeds together. They use their mathematics skills to count out how many spoons of soil they need and then talk about what plants need to grow. Children are exposed to a range of opportunities to develop their physical skills. For example, babies crawl and pull themselves up on toys that are at their level, and older children practise their pencil control and cutting skills as they create a range of pictures.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- build on routines to minimise waiting times for children and increase learning and play time n enhance professional development opportunities for staff in order to raise the quality of their teaching and the education delivered to the very highest level.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £35.00 a day still the rate? 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.
