What it is like to attend
Staff have a warm approach towards children when they arrive at the setting. This helps children to settle well and separate easily from their parents. Children confidently approach staff when they need comfort and reassurance. They demonstrate that they feel emotionally safe and secure.
The manager and staff have an ambitious curriculum in place to support all children's learning. The special educational needs coordinator (SENCo) works effectively in partnership with outside agencies and parents to ensure that all children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive good support. This has a positive impact on the quality of education that children receive. The manager uses additional funding to support children's literacy. For example, staff have set up a lending library for parents and children to use. This helps to support children's early literacy development successfully.
Staff are good role models and have high expectations of children's behaviour. The interactions between staff and children are warm and positive. Staff are polite in their interactions with children, who, in turn, demonstrate politeness to their friends. Children learn how to behave and treat each other with respect.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- engage children more effectively in conversations and extend their communication and language skills further.

Still missing for Little Tigers
- Meals
- Nappies
- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £100.50 a day 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.
