What it is like to attend
Children enjoy warm, responsive relationships with adults who know them well.
When they become upset, adults notice and reassure them. This means they can quickly settle and happily return to play. When a baby holds out their hand, adults know they want to give a 'high five' because they know they are learning to do this at home.
Babies concentrate for long periods of time, exploring a tray of oats. They use spoons to fill containers and see what happens when they pour the oats through a funnel. Skilled adults repeat key words, such as 'scoop', 'pour' and 'sprinkle', to develop children's communication and language skills.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - strengthen the arrangements for professional development to provide staff with clear targets so that they can improve their teaching practice even further n further develop good teaching practices to ensure all children, including those who are less confident, are fully included in every learning opportunity.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
