What it is like to attend
Children arrive excited to play and they leave their parents easily. When needed, staff support children sensitively. Children feel safe and secure in the care of staff.
They show high levels of curiosity and interest during their play and activities.
Children concentrate very well when exploring activities. For example, children became fascinated as they tipped and poured water down sections of drainpipes.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- build on the communication with other settings that children attend, to help support their learning and progress more consistently - develop staff's awareness of supporting children's independence, including allowing children time to manage tasks by themselves, to help build further on these 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
