What it is like to attend
Children are very happy at the setting and are welcomed each day by the caring and enthusiastic staff team. Staff recognise that children who have just started at the setting may need extra support. They offer cuddles and reassurance to help these children settle as they separate from their parents. This helps children to be ready for their day and to explore the interesting activities on offer. Staff plan an ambitious curriculum for children that broadens their skills and experiences. For example, toddlers develop their creative skills as they carry flour and glitter in containers around the playroom and enjoy making patterns. Toddlers have a good understanding of their own and other's safety, as they use a dustpan and brush to clean up their creations once they have finished. Pre-school children show good dexterity as they use spoons to scoop herbs and oats into cups.
Children behave very well. They listen to staff and learn from one another. Staff praise children for their achievements, for example, as they build towers with construction equipment. Staff talk to children about their emotions. They ask children to explain how they feel, while they look at themselves in a mirror.
Children develop a wide range of independence skills. They learn to put on their own coat and use tissues to wipe their nose by themselves.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- help staff to understand how to support children to develop their conversational skills n help staff to identify and implement further ways to extend children's large physical skills.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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