What it is like to attend
Staff genuinely care about the children that they look after. They get to know the children and their families well. Children receive a warm welcome from staff as they arrive for the day. They are eager to see their friends and happily leave their parents. Newer children who are a little tearful on arrival are well supported. Staff give them cuddles and reassurance to help them settle and engage with the activities on offer. Staff working with babies are very nurturing and attentive to their needs. Babies laugh and babble as staff play and interact with them. They are building trusting relationships with the staff who care for them.
Staff encourage children to develop an awareness of how to keep themselves safe.
They talk to pre-school children about the danger of walking while holding scissors in their hands. Children are learning to hold and use scissors safely. Toddlers are reminded that they need to sit down while they eat. Staff explain to them that they could choke if they walk around with food in their mouths. Babies are supported to take appropriate risks. Staff encourage them to have a go at using a climbing frame. They offer a hand to support them to climb up the steps. Staff assist the babies to come down the slide safely on their bottoms. Babies laugh with delight as they reach the bottom of the slide and are eager to have another go.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- share information with parents to help them extend their children's learning at home n enhance the implementation of routines and group activities so that all children can take part and are suitably challenged and engaged n ensure that staff use their assessment of children to identify and to plan appropriately challenging experiences for children that help them to build on what they already know and can do.

Still missing for Little Toes Day Nursery Clifton
- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £48.00 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.
