What it is like to attend
Children settle quickly on arrival and they are warmly welcomed by the caring staff.
Many children become absorbed in activities that interest them. For instance, children maintained a strong interest when exploring ice using different resources, including paintbrushes and straws. Overall, staff provide consistently good teaching and practice. They know their key children securely, such as their progress and what they need to learn next. Children make good or better progress from their starting points. There are high expectations for all children, particularly for those who need extra help and support. Staff meet the requirements of children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) very well.
Staff support new children sensitively. They gain effective information from parents about their children when they start. This helps staff to plan for children's interests and needs from the beginning. Staff help to engage new children in activities they show interest in to encourage them to play and learn. Staff build children's sense of responsibility, such as supporting them to help tidy up. They teach children skills in sharing and taking turns with others, including through playing games during small-group activities. Children learn to do things for themselves and others. For example, they help to prepare fruit for snack time and they learn to visit the toilet and wash their hands by themselves.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop the consistency of staff's practice and build on the overall quality of the provision to extend children's learning, development and progress even further n enhance children's awareness of healthy lifestyles further, to help them gain more understanding about caring for their bodies.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- What does it cost, all in? 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.
