What it is like to attend
Children arrive happily as they are warmly greeted by staff and their friends. They settle with ease, as staff build strong nurturing relationships with them. They become quickly absorbed in a wealth of engaging activities which they confidently select.
Staff are ambitious for all children to achieve well. Since the previous inspection, the leadership team and staff have worked extremely hard, with a dedicated focus on ensuring good outcomes for children. Children have access to a well-planned curriculum centred on equipping them for continued success in their learning. For example, children show deep concentration as they persevere in selecting the correct size and shape of bricks to build their tall tower. They take great comfort in knowing staff are on hand to support and guide them in solving simple problems.
For example, children calculate how many more coins they may need to buy an ice cream from their friend during imaginary play. Children become confident, skilful learners in a productive environment that motivates them.
What Ofsted told them to improve
School Club To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- help staff to make decisions about when to intervene in children's play to support children to fully explore their own thoughts and ideas. School Club

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £75.00 a day still the rate? 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.
