What it is like to attend
Children benefit from a consistent staff team who have worked together over many years. Good relationships between staff ensure that daily routines and activities run smoothly. As a result, children learn in a relaxed and calm atmosphere. All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), cooperate well and become fully involved with the activities on offer. For example, children listen attentively during group times and start to help with tidying up before meals.
Staff know children well and skilfully organise the environment to meet the needs of individual children. Children establish good relationships with staff and show that they feel safe and emotionally secure in their care. For example, children choose books and snuggle next to attentive staff to listen to stories. As a result, children have ample opportunities to learn new vocabulary throughout the day. Staff skilfully help children make links in their learning. For example, they comment on
'muddy puddles' to help children make connections between a favourite story and their play in the well-resourced garden.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- build further on existing good relationships with parents to provide additional opportunities to share information between home and nursery n utilise existing good partnerships with schools to better understand how to support children's smooth transition to the next steps in their education.

Still missing for Brittons Daycare
- Nappies
- Waiting list
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- Is £30.00 a day still the rate? 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.
