What it is like to attend
Children arrive happy and confident, ready for an exciting day. They confidently say goodbye to their parents and greet the familiar and friendly staff team.
Children develop strong bonds with their key person and other staff. They seek out staff for reassurance and to share play experiences. Children play freely and make independent choices about the areas they wish to play in.
Babies snuggle up to staff to share a story book. They are inquisitive and use their senses to explore the dried cereal. Older children enjoy bringing their imagination to life. For example, they use the clipboards and paper to record the ingredients they will need to make unicorn biscuits. Toddlers are fascinated to find creatures frozen in blocks of ice. With a member of staff nearby to support their learning, they begin to understand basic concepts, such as wet, cold, heavy and light.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to give children more time to put their own thoughts into words while talking with them and asking them questions n support staff to consistently model how to pronounce words correctly, so children learn the correct way to say and use them.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £31.00 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.
- 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.
