One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

What it is like to attend
Staff are attentive and offer good support to babies who are settling. They help them feel safe. Children show a sense of belonging and are happy and confident.
Staff skilfully combine children's interests and books to offer creative learning experiences across the curriculum. For example, children recall the story and confidently talk about how the characters feel. Children are motivated to create their own houses using dough, straw and pebbles. Staff ask questions to make children think and build successfully on their knowledge and learning.
Children in pre-school and toddlers show a keen interest in exploring mathematical concepts. For example, a planned visit from an ice-cream van leads to children matching the correct number of pom-poms to the number on the ice-cream cones.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to gain a deeper understanding of how to enhance the curriculum and raise the attainment of boys even further n monitor the educational programmes more rigorously to help identify areas for further development, such as providing increased opportunities for babies to crawl and climb.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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