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

Children arrive happy and settle quickly with their friends. Staff build secure attachments and know children's individual needs well. Babies seek comfort from familiar adults, while older children join activities planned around their interests.

Staff observe closely and adapt learning, especially for children who attend during term time only. Children enjoy being active and exploring. Babies crawl to toys that spark curiosity. Children explore sensory play, such as sand and rice with hidden dinosaurs to find. The spacious outdoor area is well resourced and inviting.

Children collect sticks and leaves, ride scooters and use trikes to build and strengthen their leg muscles and develop their coordination. Staff join play with enthusiasm and motivate children to keep trying. For example, children build tall towers, and when these fall, staff encourage children to rebuild and try again.

What Ofsted told them to improve

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

- extend children's understanding of the importance of healthy eating and healthy lifestyles on their bodies n strengthen partnership with parents to increase children's learning further at home.

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.
