What it is like to attend
Staff are friendly and enthusiastic and greet children on arrival at this welcoming setting. Children are happy to leave their parents and carers and are eager to start their learning. Staff value the diverse families and children that attend this unique and nurturing setting. Newly appointed and dedicated staff recognise the importance of getting to know children's individual learning styles, personalities, cultures and family backgrounds. Children develop a strong bond with their key person. This helps children to feel safe and secure.
Children behave well and are familiar with the rules and routines. Staff in the toddler room support children to share and take turns with their peers. For example, they help children to solve minor conflicts and give them time and space to regulate their feelings. As a result, children learn to be kind and caring to each other and to manage their own behaviour.
Staff give children's communication and language a high priority. They use sign language, body language, facial expressions and understand each child's cues to communicate their needs and wants. Children who speak English as an additional language develop their understanding of the English language quickly. With the attentive support of bilingual staff, children begin to extend their interactions with others using spoken English.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen the planning and implementation for some adult-led activities, to further build on what children know and can do.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £85.00 a day still the rate? 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.
