What you might pay

What it is like to attend
Children are excited to attend the setting and arrive happy and ready to start their day. Young babies are provided with a warm and inviting environment where staff are caring and attentive to their needs. Children look to staff for comfort and reassurance when needed and enjoy social interactions with peers and staff alike.
Children's language development is prioritised at the setting. Staff sing and read to children throughout each day and they provide various learning opportunities to develop this further. For example, children join in with group singing, copying the actions and learning new words, in a fun environment. Children develop good social skills, inviting their friends to join them and sharing resources well.
Children demonstrate their independence throughout the day as they get their own coats, hats and gloves on to go outdoors. Staff provide opportunities for children to prepare their own fruit and serve their own meals supporting them to make choices about the foods they eat. The youngest children at the setting are also encouraged to begin to develop their independence by feeding themselves. When going outdoors, children demonstrate how they can find their own belongings and pull on their wellington boots. This is sequenced well throughout the setting, as children develop their physical skills and abilities.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to give consistently clear messages so that children know and understand the expectations for their behaviour n strengthen the support and training for staff to further develop the quality of their teaching and planning so that children receive consistently well-targeted learning experiences.

What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? 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.
