What it is like to attend
There have been significant improvements to staff practice and their relationships with management since the last inspection. Staff now feel well supported to share any concerns they may have, and there is a positive culture towards safeguarding.
Regular visitors are suitably vetted, and there are secure procedures for any other visitors on site. For example, trade contractors sign in their mobile phones and are escorted around the buildings. This has had a positive impact on the safety and the quality of care children receive. Children arrive happily at nursery and separate from carers with ease. Staff are responsive to children. They offer cuddles and reassurance if they need it. Key-person systems are effective. There are noticeable warm and affectionate relationships between staff and children.
Leaders have designed a broad and varied curriculum that gives children the skills to be successful in their next stage in learning. Staff plan for the individual needs of the children. They provide fun experiences to encourage children to get involved, helping them to develop a positive attitude to learning. For instance, staff provide children with chunky chalks to make marks in the garden. They delight in colouring the walls and floor. As a result, children are stimulated, engaged in play and behave well. This supports all children, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities, to make good progress from their various starting points.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to continue to develop their teaching skills to enable them to successfully enhance children's learning even further n provide more opportunities for younger children to practise manageable tasks for themselves.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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