What it is like to attend
Staff warmly welcome the children into the setting. Children confidently leave their caregivers and quickly settle into familiar routines. Strong key-worker relationships enable children to feel safe and secure. These promote children's confidence as they explore the exciting resources and environment. As staff know children well, they are able to tailor activities to take into account children's individual needs.
Staff have high expectations for all children. Children are able to recall previous activities and talk about their learning. Staff's high-quality interactions enable children to progress well in their learning and development. Focused activities enable children who are more capable to experience more challenging learning.
Staff are skilled at ensuring that they identify children who need additional support and put in place appropriate interventions.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen supervision, training and coaching to identify staff's training needs promptly and raise the quality of teaching to a higher level n develop opportunities to seek feedback from others to contribute to the selfevaluation of the setting.

Still missing for Genesis Pre-School
- 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.
