What it is like to attend
Children arrive eager to start their day. They thoroughly enjoy their time at this
Montessori setting and easily separate from parents. Children are warmly welcomed by a friendly and nurturing staff team. They happily come straight into a wellorganised and safe environment. Children have good relationships with staff. They enjoy engaging in and initiating conversations with them as they use their imaginations in the role-play area. Children develop a variety of independence skills. Staff encourage them to complete age-appropriate tasks with minimal assistance. They tidy away resources used for activities and confidently put on their coats and shoes before playing outdoors. This prepares children well for the routines of school. Children have plenty of opportunities to explore messy activities.
These activities help them to strengthen their small muscles. They happily join in with mark making and painting activities. Staff are skilled at introducing children to early writing, when appropriate.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- enhance the sequence of the curriculum so that planned activities consistently build on what the children already know and can do n develop staff's understanding of how to improve their interactions with children to deepen their engagement in activities and extend their learning even further.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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