What it is like to attend
Staff have close, warm relationships with children. They value each child highly.
Staff take time to get to know children and help them to settle well. They provide activities linked to children's individual interests. Children enjoy a curriculum is interesting and wide ranging. They gain useful skills in preparation for school.
Children take part in a good range of stimulating activities. For example, they use their imagination to create models from recyclable materials. Children join objects together using masking tape and string skilfully. This supports their creative development well. Children take delight in playing with sea creatures in the water tray. Staff teach them the names of the creatures, such as whale, octopus and shark, and talk about how they live in the water. This helps children to gain a good understanding of the world. Children have good early mathematical skills. For instance, staff point out and name shapes in the environment and use mathematical language to describe size and weight. Staff have high expectations of children. They manage behaviour successfully. For instance, they help children to understand why their behaviour is not acceptable and work with them to find positive solutions.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- review how groups activities are organised to ensure that children can concentrate well to promote their best outcomes.

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.
