What it is like to attend
Leaders have ensured that all staff now have a good understanding of the early years foundation stage curriculum. Staff have sufficient understanding of the way children learn and interact positively with them. All children, including those who have been identified as having special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), benefit from the curriculum offerings and make good progress in their learning.
Children separate from their parents with ease once they arrive at the setting, feeling happy to explore and learn. Staff build secure relationships with children.
Children demonstrate that they feel happy and content. For example, babies have settled in well and have a good bond with staff in the room. They seek out familiar adults when they need reassurance, and staff respond to their needs attentively.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- continue to support all staff to understand how to implement the curiculum aims fully n make sure support plans for children with SEND are implemented consistently to help them make better progress in their communication and language development.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
