What it is like to attend
Leaders and staff create an environment that children enjoy accessing. Babies and toddlers happily look in the mirror while staff engage them in a game of peekaboo.
Babies laugh in delight and say 'hi' as they wave at themselves. Staff point and teach babies to identify body parts as they play together. Babies begin to establish a sense of self and learn about the world around them.
Older children learn how to care for themselves. Staff teach children how to care for their teeth. They provide activities which encourage children to use toothbrushes to clean pretend dirty teeth. Children learn about the plaque and use their own toothbrush to clean their teeth after lunch. Children are beginning to learn important skills related to how to care for themselves.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- encourage staff to model behaviours for children, in order to increase their understanding of expectations n consider ways to increase staff understanding of how to best implement the curriculum, particularly with regard to supporting children's independence and their critical thinking skills.

Still missing for Little Feet Day Nursery
- Waiting list
No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- Is £8.00 an hour still the rate? 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.
- 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.
