What childcare usually costs in East Riding of Yorkshire

What it is like to attend
Children are happy and safe in this exciting and stimulating nursery. They enjoy a home-from-home experience. Children develop secure attachments with kind and nurturing staff. Children show that they feel comfortable and seek out staff to join in with their play. Babies laugh and giggle as they sing songs and play peekaboo with animated and enthusiastic staff. Older children show a great deal of confidence as they chat to the inspector about what they like to do at nursery. For instance, children show the inspector their favourite stories and talk about what they have been building in the construction area.
Staff have high expectations for all children's learning. They are good role models and offer children lots of praise and encouragement as they develop and practise their skills. Staff celebrate children's achievements and help them to develop positive attitudes towards their learning. Children are well behaved and polite. They understand what is expected of them at nursery and are aware of the rules and boundaries in place. Staff successfully use positive reinforcement strategies to help children to develop respect for others and a sense of right and wrong. As a result, children are kind, considerate and want to help each other.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen teaching to support children who speak English as an additional language further n extend partnership working with parents by sharing ideas regarding what they can do to enhance their children's learning at home.

No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
