What it is like to attend
Children are happy and safe in this welcoming environment. They enjoy the adult involvement in their play and exploration. Older children are eager to share their experiences. They confidently present interesting items from home and talk about what they have been doing outside of nursery. Children's behaviour is good, and the staff act as positive role models. They encourage children to use their manners, and children are learning how to share and take turns with each other.
Children develop their independence in a variety of ways. They wash their own hands, serve their own snack and independently prepare themselves for the outside area. Children are encouraged to make their own choices in their play according to their individual interests. Children are developing skills they need to thrive when they go to school.
Children love spending time in the nursery gardens. They have many opportunities to develop their physical skills and explore the natural world around them. Children confidently navigate the obstacle courses and climbing equipment as they balance and enhance their coordination. They learn to take appropriate risks as they use a rope swing and climb into the nature watch lookout.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- review opportunities for children to practise and develop their early writing skills n increase the focus of support and professional development for staff to help raise the quality of teaching even higher.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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