What the inspector found

One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

What it is like to attend

Enthusiastic staff create a nurturing and welcoming learning environment that is inclusive for all children. As children arrive, they are greeted by warm, friendly staff. If children struggle to separate from their parents, staff expertly use their knowledge of the child to reassure them and support them to engage in activities.

Children clearly feel safe and secure. They confidently choose from a wide range of activities at this outstanding nursery.

Passionate leaders, managers and staff create an ambitious curriculum that builds on what children know and what they need to learn next. Activities inspire children to take control of their own learning. Staff interactions continually support children to extend their learning to the highest level. Staff have high expectations for children's learning and development and are excellent role models. Mutual respect between adults and children is clearly evident.

Before you ring

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £86.00 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.
