What it is like to attend
Children arrive happily and quickly engage in activities. They benefit from an effective key-person system and this helps them to settle well. Babies sleep, eat and have their nappy changed according to their individual needs, meaning they feel emotionally safe and secure. For example, they cuddle into their key person and gently drift off to sleep. Toddlers and older children are confident, make friends easily and show a positive attitude to their learning. Children acquire the skills and independence they need for the next stage in their learning, including starting school.
Children behave well and understand what the staff expect of them. They learn to stay safe while taking managed risks. For example, children learn to balance as they walk across the planks. They develop a love of books. For example, older children enjoy a favourite story and are delighted to go on a pretend 'bear hunt' in the outside area. They join in with familiar phrases and actions, and scream with excitement when they pretend to find the bear.
Children enjoy learning about the natural world and use natural resources during their role play. For instance, they pretend that sticks, bark and water are the ingredients and use these to make 'meals' in the outdoor play kitchen. The manager successfully monitors the impact of any additional funding used to ensure that children are achieving to their full potential.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - develop systems for staff supervision, to ensure they happen more frequently and staff receive feedback to improve their performance further n give children plenty of time to respond to questions and promote their thinking and language skills even more effectively.

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.
