What it is like to attend
Children are happy and contented in the pre-school. On arrival, they settle in quickly to play with their friends. They receive a warm welcome from staff who are kind and nurturing towards them. This helps children to feel safe and secure in their care. Staff pay careful consideration to the interests that children show when they prepare the activities and experiences. They include the learning that children need. For example, when some younger children show a keen interest in throwing toys. Staff put together a sloped down-pipe to enable children to roll their toys safely. While involved in this game, staff gently remind children to wait for their turn.
Children behave well and show positive attitudes to learning. This is because staff consistently model kind and respectful behaviours with children and with each other. Children are kind to each other and give each other toys to help include them in their games. Children use their good manners and respond well to staff to tidy away their toys when asked. All children gain the skills and understanding they need to prepare them for their next stage of learning and the eventual move on to school.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- make effective use of the information gained from parents about children's prior learning when they first start to help focus the plans for their next learning from the outset n provide opportunities for children to further their independence which helps them to complete tasks for themselves.

Still missing for Little Stars Christian Pre-School
- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £7.45 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.
