What it is like to attend
Staff provide children with a friendly, relaxed and inclusive environment that helps them to develop a strong sense of belonging. Staff develop strong bonds with the children. They talk to children in a kind and courteous way and show a genuine interest in what children say and do. Consequently, children demonstrate high levels of confidence and self-esteem. Staff support children to be independent and do as much as possible for themselves. For example, when children arrive they select their own placemat and choose and serve the cereal they would like.
Toddlers dress themselves when they wake from their afternoon sleep. Pre-school children manage their own personal care. Children are confident to communicate their ideas and opinions. They learn to compromise. In the role-play area, children discuss how they will share the dolls. One child says, 'You hold the baby and I will brush her hair' and another child replies, 'Okay, then I will hold the baby and you do the nappy.'
Staff support children to develop positive attitudes towards their learning. All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), develop the skills they need for their next stage of learning, including their move on to school.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to organise activities in a way that consistently meets the needs of all children, including the quieter, less-confident children, so that they can fully participate in activities n support staff to consistently extend children's learning even further.

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.
