What the inspector found

One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

What it is like to attend

Staff find out detailed information from parents about children's needs before they start at the setting. This helps staff develop close relationships with children.

Children settle well into the setting. They feel safe and secure. Staff are warm and nurturing. They know their key children well and support their individual needs.

Staff promote children's independence. Children go to the toilet themselves. They wash their hands for snack. Staff teach children how to put on their own gloves and hats. Staff model manners and encourage sharing. They swiftly and positively intervene when there are issues with children's behaviour. Children receive rewards for being kind to each other. They are proud to see their photos displayed on the

What Ofsted told them to improve

To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:

- give more consideration to the planning and teaching of activities to ensure that they provide suitable levels of challenge for all children.

What to ask them

None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.

  • 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.
  • 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.
