What it is like to attend
Children arrive happy and quickly settle into their play and learning. They form close bonds with the staff who are kind and nurturing. The manager and staff plan an ambitious curriculum for children and adapt this to enable all children to participate in activities and make progress. Children are becoming increasingly independent. For example, they learn self-help skills, such as using tongs to serve their own food.
Children and babies benefit from frequent opportunities to play in the exciting outdoor areas. Pre-school children work together to make maps for their ship and ask their friends where to go to next. Younger children enjoy being physically active as they climb steps to the small slide and negotiate space when they push themselves along on ride-on toys. Children are kind and respect their friends. Staff model positive interactions and teach children to share and take turns. Children think critically and are beginning to solve problems. Staff introduce a sand timer to give their friends equal amounts of time with a toy they all want to use. This helps children's understanding of sharing.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to implement the curriculum intent more sharply to build on what children already know and raise the quality of education to a higher level n support staff to ensure that daily routines do not disrupt children's play and learning.

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.
