What it is like to attend
Children settle well in the calm environment. They develop warm, caring relationships with staff and develop friendships with each other from a young age.
Babies enjoy looking at a book together of photographs of their families. This helps them to learn each other's names and develops their awareness of other family members, such as brothers, sisters and pets. Children who need extra help in their learning and development make very good progress. Staff have an in-depth knowledge and understanding of their needs and how to support them. Children behave well and follow the familiar routines with ease. Staff provide clear boundaries and expectations to children, along with plenty of praise and encouragement. Children develop good levels of confidence and happily approach adults for help.
Children enjoy a good range of toys, resources and activities that support their learning and development. They make choices about their play and activities. For instance, toddlers make song choices from different picture cards with images of nursery rhymes. Children are keen to learn and play. They take part in activities with enthusiasm and interest. For example, older children enjoy experimenting by rolling cars down lengths of drainpipe.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- increase staff's understanding of how to support children who speak other languages at home, including the benefits of this for children's learning and development n support staff to develop further awareness of their responses to children, such as engaging with children who may be quieter, and consistently responding to babies' babbling, to help further extend early conversation 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
