What it is like to attend
Children are overall happy, settled and secure in the environment. They are confident to explore the range of age-appropriate activities set up for them. New children settling into the baby room appear calm and content. The established settling-in procedures help children become familiar with the routines. Babies and toddlers receive nurturing care as they engage in activities planned to build their social skills. They confidently explore the environment alongside each other, knowing that staff are nearby to support them. Pre-school children develop their independence in learning and join in with activities enthusiastically with staff, who engage their concentration well. For example, as they cut real fruit in the role-play area. Pre-school children are confident in managing their own self-help skills, such as serving food and can freely put on their own coats.
Children are friendly, polite, and well behaved. Staff use positive and consistent language to support turn taking in all age groups. For instance, toddlers are encouraged to help each other find their shoes. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, parents and carers are unable to enter the premises. Children make good progress in their learning, including those with additional funding and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities. The special needs coordinator works with parents and the local authority to ensure that specific plans are developed to support children.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- communicate the curriculum intentions more clearly to staff so that they can feel confident to consistently put into practice the exciting intentions for children's learning n strengthen staff practice to create more ways to help younger children manage and build upon their independence 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
