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
Children enjoy their time in this welcoming, lively setting. They engage well in activities that capture their interests and, overall, build on what they already know.
Children develop a broad range of skills that prepare them for the move to school.
They solve puzzles using the computer. They become competent in using a mouse and a keyboard. They learn about shapes, begin to recognise numbers, and explore different languages.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to extend and challenge the learning of the most-able children, so that they build on their experiences and develop their knowledge and skills to their full potential n consider how whole-group activities are implemented and managed to ensure that the youngest children continue to be motivated and eager to join in.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- 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.
