What the inspector found

One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

What it is like to attend

Staff provide children with a warm welcome in a safe atmosphere. Children selfregister by placing their name tag on their coat peg on arrival. They also help themselves to breakfast from a self-service bar with the staff there to help if needed. This helps children to develop independence and a sense of pride in their achievements. Children settle quickly into the nursery routine. They access a range of activities which are set out ready for their play. Children use their imaginations in the outside area as they pretend to lock gates with giant keys.

Children are confident to share experiences and interests from home with the staff.

The staff then use this information to create further opportunities for children to share with their friends. For example, following on from children's interests in boats and the sea, staff encourage children to use magnifying glasses to look at giant prawns and mussels. They also talk about 'rescue boats' and children share and take turns in using equipment as they work together to build a boat. For example, when the children needed some sticky tape another child cut some off and handed it to them. Children are confident in their own abilities and help others with tasks.

What Ofsted told them to improve

To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:

- enrich opportunities to encourage children to extend their vocabulary n help staff to develop a greater understanding of the areas of learning and the ways in which children learn and enhance their teaching accordingly.

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.
