What it is like to attend
Practitioners provide children with a safe and caring learning environment. Babies nuzzle into their key person for comfort and when they are tired. Children enter the setting and immediately access resources. Practitioners carry out home visits to learn about children and their families before they start. This builds up trust between practitioners, children and their families. Children are extremely happy.
Practitioners role model good behaviour. They listen to children and say 'please'
and 'thank you'. Children copy this behaviour. From a young age, practitioners teach children to share. They explain why sharing is important and teach children to be kind. Children's behaviour is good.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- plan the curriculum more precisely for two-year-old children, to build on their existing knowledge and skills n support practitioners to encourage children's independence further, particularly at mealtimes.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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