What it is like to attend
Children are warmly greeted by the staff and confidently settle into the routine of the day. Children demonstrate excellent social skills. When multiple children want a turn of an activity, they use a timer and patiently wait for their turn. When children wait to go on the swing outdoors, they patiently sit on a crate until the swing is free. During a group activity, children point out who has not yet had a turn.
Children demonstrate kindness towards their friends and staff. They demonstrate that they feel safe and secure.
Children benefit from the inviting and stimulating learning environment, which supports them to be fully engaged in meaningful play throughout the pre-school.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to actively encourage all children to take part in planned activities to extend their learning opportunities even further.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £5.00 an hour 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.
- 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.
