What it is like to attend
Leaders have a clear understanding of what they want children to learn and how to achieve the curriculum objectives. The focus of the setting is for children to become independent and confident learners who have effective communication skills. The success of this is evident when children are eager to work together to build a marble run. They gather resources available, use their imagination and share their ideas to complete the structure.
The curriculum is well balanced and stimulating. Staff know their key children well.
This includes understanding their individual needs and what makes them unique.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- continue to review staff deployment so they meet younger children's emerging needs more closely n review the organisation of routines, particularly at lunchtimes and older children's larger group times, so that children's learning is maximised.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- Can I use my funded hours here? 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.
