What it is like to attend
Children are happy on arrival at the setting and are keen to get involved in the experiences on offer to them. Children are thrilled to see their friends and members of staff. They show that they feel safe and secure as they separate successfully from their parents. Children experience a warm sense of belonging and connection at the setting as they are welcomed into the room by their peers.
Children's individual learning styles and preferences are recognised by staff, who have high expectations for all children. Children benefit greatly from outdoor play.
Their natural curiosity is nurtured and extended through access to stimulating resources, and involvement in interesting experiences. Children demonstrate an eagerness to spend time outdoors. Staff ably support them to explore the natural environment. For example, young children excitedly hide 'bugs' around the icy garden for their friends to find. Children are extremely knowledgeable about the names of bugs and delight in finding them around the environment.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - further review the routine to ensure that transitions are prompt and smooth, in order to maintain high levels of focus and engagement for all children.

No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £78.00 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.
