What it is like to attend
Children develop strong relationships with the caring and attentive staff. They show that they are happy and secure in this warm and welcoming environment. Children enjoy their time and benefit from an extensive range of rich and stimulating resources. They show high levels of interest in the carefully planned activities and make good progress. Staff have high expectations for children's learning and behaviour. As a result, children behave well and show that they are curious and motivated learners.
Babies are given high levels of attention and encouragement as they play. When babies paint, staff teach them the names of different colours and shapes as they explore stamps and rollers. Babies also delight in reading stories and learning about a variety of different animals. Toddlers' imaginations are nurtured when exploring sensory trays, play dough and role-play resources. They clap and laugh as they sing and dance. Staff are playful in their interactions and boost children's confidence and self-esteem effectively.
Pre-school children are highly inquisitive learners. Staff skilfully support their development and help them to make connections to their prior knowledge. For instance, children participate in fun rhyming games to support their language skills.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen some staff's teaching skills in order to promote children's language skills to the highest level n review the organisation of mealtimes to ensure that children do not have to wait for unnecessarily long periods of time before eating, in order to promote their engagement.

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.
