Cost

What you might pay

£5.50an hour, typical for a 3 and 4 years old

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 expertly guide children through their development. Each experience is highly sequenced to ensure children have a secure foundation of learning to build upon.

The manager has devised a curriculum which focuses precisely on the individual needs of all the children, with communication and language at the heart of everything they do. Children absorb the language-rich environment that surrounds them. As a result, they are exceeding in their language skills. For example, children from a young age use a wide range of vocabulary to describe and explain their understanding.

Staff ignite children's interests and are developing highly motivated children who are eager to learn. For example, children excitedly run to join in with the 'talking tub' activity. As the member of staff announces the end of the activity, the children eagerly ask for it to be repeated. Children have extremely positive attitudes to learning. Staff have high expectations for children's behaviour. The clear and consistent approach staff implement helps children to manage their own behaviour with ease.

This setting re-registered. It replaced “Little People Aspull” at the same address, which had been registered since 3 December 2002. A change of owner or legal entity gives Ofsted a brand new record, so the inspections below may only cover the time since then.

Before you ring

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.
