One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

What it is like to attend

The management team and staff have made positive changes to the curriculum.

Staff plan activities and experiences that build on what children know and can do.

They have made changes to the play spaces to encourage children to be creative, develop physical skills and learn about the wider world.

What Ofsted told them to improve

To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:

- provide clearer support for children to help them understand how they can care for their play environments and toys n continue to build on interactions with children in ways that enhance learning and development.

Before you ring

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.
