What it is like to attend
Children value the warm and nurturing interactions of staff, who are attentive to children's sensitive needs. In particular, when children wake from their sleep, they welcome a cuddle from staff. Children lead their own play experiences. They enjoy free-flow access to the outdoor environment throughout the day. Children enjoy transporting items from one area of the setting to another. For instance, children move the play dough to the role-play area to make food. This supports children's play experiences.
Children's imaginations flourish as they engage in role play with one another.
Children find and put on their coats to pretend to 'go on a road trip to the moon'.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen staff's understanding of developing a consistent approach to managing children's feelings and behaviours n revise mealtime routines to build on children's growing independence skills and create opportunities for positive social interactions.

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.
