What it is like to attend
Staff warmly welcome children as they arrive at this inclusive kindergarten.
Children happily leave their parents and eagerly explore a wide range of exciting activities. Staff encourage children to hang their coats up and then find their names on the self-registration board. This helps children to gain sense of belonging and develop their independence skills. Children enjoy spending time with staff and form positive and respectful relationships. This helps them to feel safe and secure.
Children behave well and are ready to learn. Overall, they make good progress in their learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- use evaluations to provide staff with targeted coaching and mentoring to raise quality of education to the highest level n focus on what children need to learn next during group-time activities to ensure that they remain fully immersed in their learning.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- What does it cost, all in? 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.
