What it is like to attend
Staff create a warm, interesting and nurturing environment in which children thrive.
Children enter happily, and they quickly choose play activities with their friends.
Staff take the time to get to know the children well. They work in partnership with parents to identify what children know and can do, their likes and interests. Staff use this information to build an exciting curriculum. This creates the building blocks for future learning. Staff read books to children, which helps them develop a love of reading. Young children enjoy the opportunities to curl up in the book corner to read a favourite story. Older children talk about the different parts of a book, such as the roles of the author and illustrator. Furthermore, children learn that books can be used to gather information as well as reading for pleasure.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen the curriculum so that it is ambitious for all children and meets their needs.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £74.00 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.
- 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.
