What it is like to attend
Children settle well in this welcoming setting. Despite a newly formed team, children form strong relationships with their key person and other staff within the rooms. As a result, children feel safe and secure in their surroundings. At times, younger children become unsettled. However, staff swiftly 'check-in' with them to help calm them and understand why they feel this way. Staff have high expectations for what children can learn. They build on children's experiences outside of the setting to further enhance their skills. For example, pre-school children have recently visited a number of London landmarks with their families.
Staff use effective questions and visual aids to support children as they build their own version of the 'Tower Bridge'. Children confidently use their bodies to demonstrate the angles they need to achieve to make the shape of the bridge.
Staff support children well in managing their behaviour. There are clear 'Rainbow
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- consider even more opportunities to offer use of the toilet to children who are currently developing this skill n make further use of interactions with parents to gain as much information as possible at the start of the session to help inform each child's day at the setting.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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