What it is like to attend
Staff provide children with a safe and welcoming learning environment. They greet them warmly on arrival and provide lots of individual attention. This helps children to settle in quickly and build affectionate bonds. Children show that they feel happy and secure as they chat away to the staff and play amongst their friends. Staff have high expectations of children. They are positive role models and ensure that children understand the setting's 'golden rules' for behaviour. Children respond well to the staff's gentle guidance. They use polite language, such as 'please' and 'thank you' and treat others with kindness and respect.
Leaders and staff provide a broad curriculum and want children to achieve all that they can. They teach children a wide range of skills and knowledge in readiness for their next stages in learning. For example, staff understand the importance of books for children's learning and development. They provide cosy reading areas for children of all ages and set aside time to share books with children each day. This helps children to develop a love of stories and an interest in reading from an early age. Staff consider children's interests when planning the activities. Children are motivated to investigate the stimulating resources, such as sand and wooden blocks. They become highly engaged and demonstrate good imaginations as they build 'houses', using sand as 'cement' to hold the blocks together.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to provide an interesting and more precisely sequenced curriculum to promote children's physical development, in particular their fine motor skills n consider how to further support children's self-care skills and understanding of healthy lifestyles.

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.
