What it is like to attend
Children are happy and settled in this pleasant environment. Friendly staff welcome them into the setting, where they are greeted by their key person. Children separate easily from their parents and quickly engage in the learning experiences on offer. Young babies enjoy a teddy bears picnic with their friends, while older babies explore their favourite stories. Toddlers laugh heartily as they explore materials with their hands in the messy tray. Pre-school children investigate carrots they have picked from the garden. They recall how the leaves point up to the sun to help them to grow and the roots sink into the soil to get the food they need.
Staff have high expectations for children's behaviour and support children to learn the rules and boundaries of the setting. Children develop positive and respectful relationships with their peers, learning to share and take turns. Staff use stories to help children to learn about different emotions, which helps them to make sense of their feelings. Children develop an understanding of how to keep themselves safe by becoming 'garden detectives'. They help staff to carry out outdoor risk assessments and set up the play area for the day ahead.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- deepen staff's understanding of the sequenced curriculum to help children to make the best progress n support staff to develop more effective questioning techniques, allowing children more time to process and respond to questions.

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.
