What it is like to attend
Staff have a shared understanding of what they want children to learn and why.
They effectively plan the learning environment to take account of children's next steps. Staff differentiate well for different learners to provide challenge. They know when to intervene to add value to the child's learning experience.
Children work collaboratively on tasks. They wash the dinosaurs and farm animals in a bucket of water and describe what they are doing. Staff model language well and introduce children to new words and their meanings. They talk about the
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- consider how lunchtimes are organised to ensure that babies are not sat for long periods of time waiting for their food n support staff to consider different ways in which they can encourage children with less language to increase their vocabulary.

What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? 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.
