What it is like to attend
Children, including those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities
(SEND) and speak English as an additional language, enjoy attending this caring and welcoming nursery. Staff help children to settle when they start attending. As existing children arrive, they are pleased to see the staff and say are quick to hello.
Relationships are positive between the children and the staff. Babies bob up and down and clap their hands as staff sing songs to them. Toddlers enthusiastically draw pictures and smile with pride when staff comment on their efforts. Pre-school children become engrossed in role play activities and thoroughly enjoy the positive interaction from staff who play alongside them. The staff know the children well.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- improve the organisation of group activities to ensure that they meet each child's needs and maintain their interest n develop staff skills to provide a consistent approach when managing children's behaviour so children know what staff expect of them.

Still missing for Kiddy Kapers Daycare
- Meals
- Nappies
- Waiting list
No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- Is £55.80 a day still the rate? 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.
