What it is like to attend
Children arrive happy and ready to start their day. They separate from their parents with ease and settle quickly as the friendly staff greet them. Children develop good friendships with their peers. They play nicely and work together as they build with the blocks in the garden. Children giggle and laugh when their towers wobble and fall over.
Younger children enjoy playing imaginatively. They pretend to take a journey in their imaginary car. Older children enjoy using the resources to make their own ramps and enclosures to play with the cars. Children learn to be independent at managing their own needs. Even the youngest children are encouraged to pour drinks and they confidently drink from cups without lids. Older children use crockery and are confident serving their own meals. Children enjoy helping to tidy away after mealtimes. They carefully carry their plates and empty them before helping staff to sweep up the food from the floor.
Children have a good attitude towards learning and being involved in activities.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- continue to develop procedures for staff support and training to raise the quality of practice to a greater level n be more consistent at using the strategies in place for supporting children's individual learning needs n make the most of the resources and areas provided to consistently extend children's learning and skills.

- What it costs
- Funded hours
- Youngest age taken
- Meals
- Nappies
- Waiting list
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
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.
