£6.50an hour, typical for a 2 years old
£6.20an hour, typical for a 3 and 4 years old

What the inspector found

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

Children enjoy coming to the setting to see staff and play with their friends. Staff are welcoming and work hard to develop relationships that make children feel safe and secure. For example, they spend time getting to know children's likes, dislikes and their favourite things to do. This means staff know the children extremely well and are able to support them, ready for their next stage of learning.

Children's behaviour is positive throughout the setting, and staff praise them when they practise the 'golden rules'. For instance, staff give children a 'high five' if they use 'gentle hands' or 'listening ears'. This helps children to develop positive relationships with others, which supports all areas of their future learning.

The setting involves everyone when it reviews its routines, curriculum and menus.

What Ofsted told them to improve

To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:

- enhance opportunities for children to develop their understanding of mathematics.

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.
