What it is like to attend

Children arrive happy. They settle quickly ready to start their day. Staff warmly welcome children and their parents, which helps to give them a sense of belonging.

Children easily separate from their parents and older children are enthusiastic to see their friends. Staff create a nurturing environment that focuses on children's interests, and what they know and can do. Staff design an ambitious educational programme for children's learning. They thoughtfully plan resources and activities which children will enjoy and that support their learning. For example, staff take small groups of children into the art studio, where they explore with a range of materials, such as music and clay. Younger children are excited as they explore the keys of the piano and carefully try to cut the shape of a leaf from clay. They are mesmerised as they observe the effect of the beat of music with water.

Staff engage well with children and sensitively demonstrate when they need to support children's understanding. They praise children for their efforts and achievements. Children behave well. Staff carefully support children to resolve their disagreements around sharing. Children enjoy being outdoors. Babies go on trips into the community, while older children relish their time in the spacious garden.

What Ofsted told them to improve

To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:

- implement further support for children who are newer in the setting to help them to build relationships with their peers and extend their social skills n place a greater emphasis on consistently maintaining children's good health and well-being.

Before you ring

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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