What it is like to attend
Children spend a lot of time outdoors. They have many opportunities to enhance their physical well-being. Children run up the grassy mound and climb apparatus.
They have great fun with their friends, building dens with natural materials.
Toddlers and older children learn about the planting and growing process. They show how they can listen and respond to questions. For example, older children recall how they previously planted carrots in the allotment. Toddlers and older children learn how the plants 'suck up' water from the roots to help them grow.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - embed the system for monitoring staff's practice to ensure teaching is consistently of a high standard n continue to improve the existing good systems for assessment to challenge children's learning further, particularly those who are exceeding expectations.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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