What it is like to attend
Children arrive happily and are warmly greeted by cheerful staff at this small, friendly setting. Staff build strong, positive relationships with the children and their families. Children who are very new to the setting receive lots of cuddles and gentle reassurance from staff. This helps them to feel safe and secure as they become familiar with a new environment and routine. Staff encourage children to follow daily routines and help each other. For example, they sing a song about
'golden choices' with babies, which provides an early introduction to the expectations for behaviour. Staff give older children roles and responsibilities, such as helper of the day, to help their friends and the staff. This helps to support children's personal development.
The setting has a well-sequenced curriculum to help develop children's knowledge in the areas of learning. For instance, staff support younger children to climb ladders as they play in the garden. This encourages children to take and manage risks safely and develops their physical skills. Older children develop their mathematical skills when they take part in a group counting activity selecting and matching a number of objects to the correct numeral. This helps children to develop the skills they need for later learning, including the move to school.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- plan small-group activities so they are more sharply focused to support and extend all children's learning n provide children with clear and consistent messages about expectations so they can manage their behaviour independently.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- Is £60.00 a day still the rate? 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.
- 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.
