What you might pay

What childcare usually costs in Tower Hamlets

What it is like to attend
Leaders have developed a curriculum that is ambitious for every child. They have clear learning priorities in each room to meet the age and stage of children. For example, there is an appropriate focus in the baby room on children building secure relationships with their key persons. Staff value the uniqueness of each child and can talk confidently about their key children and their individual next steps in learning.
Staff's interactions with children are warm and reassuring, which contributes to children feeling secure and confident. Children are keen to approach staff members to share things they have made or invite them into their play. For example, children collect a second set of identical resources from around the nursery to invite staff to make cookies from play dough with them.
Staff actively teach children to listen to each other and share resources. Children learn to play together cooperatively. For example, a group of older children work together to build an impressive array of tunnels and bridges out of wooden blocks.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - embed the expectations for children's behaviour so that all staff confidently reinforce the rules in the nursery n continue to provide high-quality training, coaching and support so that all staff continue to improve their interactions with children.

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.
