What it is like to attend
Children arrive to the pre-school happy and separate from their parents and carers with ease. They are warmly greeted at the door by the welcoming staff members.
Children of all ages demonstrate their independence as they locate their names at the entrance and self-register on the board. Staff create a stimulating curriculum that motivates children to learn and have fun. They quickly settle into activities that are attractively set up for them on their arrival. Children's mathematical development is promoted and extended well by staff. For example, children access
'compare bears' to count, identify colour, sort and to sequence into pattens.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- build on children's access to resources that reflect diversity n review the storage of resources to provide more opportunities for children to dictate and extend their own play and ideas.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £8.00 an hour 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.
