What it is like to attend
Children show strong relationships with the nurturing staff at this warm and welcoming nursery. They happily arrive and separate from their parents with ease.
This highlights that they feel safe and secure at this nursery. Children are learning that text has meaning as they attempt to recognise pegs with their names on. They are kind to each other and notice when someone needs help. For example, older children help younger children to find their name. Children are familiar with the consistent routines as they put away their own belongings and choose whether to eat breakfast or explore the environment. Children make their own choices as they choose what they want to play with throughout the day. This helps children develop their own interests and build on what they already know and can do.
Staff have high expectations for children's learning and behaviour. They recognise children's individual abilities and plan challenging experiences to support their ongoing development. Children learn good hygiene routines and begin to manage their own personal care. For instance, they wash their hands and put an apron on before making salad for lunch. Children learn to manage risks while using the ageappropriate tools. Staff and children discuss potential hazards and the possible impact they could have on themselves or others. For example, children skilfully use a safety knife to chop vegetables, and they understand they must not place their fingers in front of the knife.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- plan and organise ways for younger children to be even more independent to support their learning further n review and improve the organisation of routines to fully maximise children's engagement and enjoyment in their learning.

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.
