What it is like to attend
Children arrive at this welcoming setting happy and excited for their day ahead.
Staff are caring and responsive to children's individual needs. For instance, they follow babies' care routines from home when they first join the provision.
Therefore, children settle quickly, they build meaningful relationships with staff and feel safe and secure. Children confidently seek adults to share their activities and achievements. Staff respond with enthusiasm, which helps to boost children's selfesteem.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - strengthen further the provision for children with SEND, to ensure that all staff consistently implement effective strategies, which promote children's communication and help them to understand expectations n support staff in the toddler room to provide clearer and more consistent guidance, to help children understand the boundaries and moderate their behaviour.

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.
