What the inspector found

One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

What it is like to attend

Children are extremely happy and settled at the pre-school. They benefit from the warm and trusting relationships they have with staff and the friendships they enjoy with their peers. Parents confirm that the settling-in process is highly effective in meeting their children's individual needs and aptitudes.

Children become exceptionally confident, motivated learners. They are eager to explore the carefully planned learning opportunities. For example, younger children proudly show the coins they have found in the shaving foam. They excitedly show how they turned the water green by adding yellow to the blue. Older children confidently take part in the inspection process and are keen to explain why they love their pre-school. Staff create a vibrant, yet respectful environment for children.

Children often share and take turns independently as they play. There is a pleasant, industrious atmosphere where children busy themselves throughout the day.

Before you ring

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.
  • 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.
