What it is like to attend
Children are happy and settled in this caring setting. They enter their daily sessions with enthusiasm. They hang up their belongings when they arrive and greet their friends as they enter their dedicated rooms. Children enjoy taking part in exciting physical activities that are facilitated by the creative team of staff. Children scoop up sand to fill buckets and use mark-making tools to design their own Christmas jumper.
Children listen to instructions and follow routines. They demonstrate positive behaviour and good manners. Staff and managers are positive role models. They speak to children and each other with respect and teach children how to play cooperatively. Staff respond sensitively when children struggle with strong emotions. They help children to regulate and understand their emotions. Staff offer comfort and support to children, which helps them to feel safe and loved. Children listen and respond positively to the support provided by staff and happily continue with their activities.
Staff carry out appropriate assessments of children to identify their level of development. They take swift action when they find that children are not making their expected levels of progress. Staff work collaboratively with parents and other professionals to establish appropriate targets and actions to support children. This means that children with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive targeted intervention that helps them to make good progress.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- enhance planning further to ensure that activities are highly focused on children's precise needs n strengthen the supervision and coaching of staff so that they continue to develop their teaching skills.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- What does it cost, all in? 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.
- 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.
