What it is like to attend
Children are calm, settled and happy at nursery. They arrive for their day ready to learn and are greeted by a friendly, welcoming staff team. Staff prepare interesting and challenging activities, overall. Children have fun and are fully engaged with the experiences on offer. Children are engrossed in messy play, art, role play and reading throughout the day. At times, children sit together to participate in adultled activities like songs and rhyme time. Other times, children make independent choices about their play with appropriate engagement from staff.
Children enjoy opportunities to play in the nursery garden that staff have organised to make the most of the space available. Children participate fully and show their delight when they play games, like 'What's the Time, the manager?' Staff organise trips to local parks and playgrounds where children can extend their physical skills and explore the local community. Children listen to staff and follow instructions well, which promotes a positive learning environment. They show respect for one another, staff and nursery resources. Children are keen to learn, and they build respectful relationships with their friends. This prepares children well for the next steps in their learning and eventual move to school.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- continue to develop staff practice in the baby room to support planning for children's individual learning needs n embed supervision arrangements to precisely identify areas where staff need further training and development.

No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
