What it is like to attend
Children arrive happy, confident and ready to learn at this friendly setting. Children look out of the window with excitement to see their friends arriving. Even very young children point excitedly and name their friends. Children are happy and safe.
They learn to make friendships. Children of all ages are enthralled and listen well to stories, which are read by skilled and enthusiastic staff. They join in with well known phrases and regularly choose books to read with friends. Children are engaged in learning. They develop their language, listening skills and a love of reading.
Expectations for children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are high. The curriculum supports children to test out and try new activities. For example, children try several ways to fit blocks into a box and are encouraged to persevere. This develops resilience and builds their self-esteem as they are praised for new achievements. Children's physical and emotional wellbeing is well considered. They are supported to understand how physical exercise makes their heart beat faster and children talk about the importance of hydrating to keep well.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- enhance adult-led activities to focus more sharply on children's specific targets to promote their engagement to the highest level n provide children with more time to think and answer questions to further develop their language and communication skill.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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