What it is like to attend
Children are happy and safe at this setting. They demonstrate good personal, social and emotional skills. For example, children get to know others and build positive relationships, as they have opportunities to interact with their peers from different rooms across the setting. Children show care and concern for living things as they help to care for the setting's rabbit. Behaviour at the setting is good and children demonstrate good independence. They each have a role in supporting the smooth running of their room. For example, individual children help serve lunch.
They take pride in completing this task and relish the opportunity of the role. These tasks help to prepare children for life in modern Britain.
Children know the expectations and routines of the day and these are well embedded. Children anticipate key parts of the day and show enthusiasm at specific stages. For example, children eagerly await the time when they can choose a song and join in. They demonstrate excellent listening skills and join in with songs with delight, demonstrating good communication skills.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- enhance procedures for transitions that provide staff with more information about what children know and can do and that help staff to plan precisely for children's learning from early on.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £69.00 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.
