What it is like to attend
Staff have built positive relationships with children and their families. These relationships form firm foundations for children's successful learning and development. Children's emotional development is promoted well. Children arrive happy to nursery as they are greeted by the friendly management team. Younger children are supported by staff to independently manage the stairs up to their room. They are strengthening their muscles and learning how to coordinate their body movements. Children settle well into their learning with the support of their key person.
Managers and staff have worked together to design a curriculum which is ambitious for all children. Children happily work together to build a house from bricks. Staff model how to build the structure, starting with the sides. They challenge children to think how they can build up the sides and make a roof. This is developing the children's problem-solving skills. Staff are skilful at developing their teaching to meet the children's individual needs. They have created an environment where children's imaginations flourish.
Staff read stories with enthusiasm. Children quickly become deeply engaged in the story. They show good listening and attention skills. Staff challenge children's thinking and promote their use of language by them asking questions about the story. Staff extend children's learning further and support their counting skills.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - organise the arrangements at mealtimes for babies to see the facial expression of staff, so that teaching interactions are maximised n extend opportunities for children to use tools to develop their coordination skills, particularly at mealtimes.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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