What it is like to attend
The dedicated management team is passionate about providing high-quality care and education for all children. Staff are caring and nurturing. They have built up close relationships with children. Children are happy and settled. Babies happily explore the spacious rooms. They are engrossed as staff help them pour sand into funnels. Babies show great concentration as they use toy hammers to tap wooden blocks into their holders. Children play harmoniously in the outdoor area. They practise their hand-to-eye coordination as they roll balls to each other. Children giggle with glee as they practise throwing and catching balls with a partner.
Staff have high expectations of children. They are positive role models. Staff encourage children to use good manners and to share the toys. Children are praised with thumbs up and high fives. This helps to raise their self-esteem.
Children cuddle up to staff when they need reassurance. They demonstrate that they feel safe and secure here. Children's behaviour is very good. Staff plan exciting activities that motivate children. This helps children gain a thirst for learning from an early age. Older children thoroughly enjoy singing the days of the week in Spanish. They excitedly remember key words that they have learned in
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop the arrangements for the supervision of staff further to identify clear targets that support them to enhance their teaching skills to the highest level n explore ways to help children to develop an understanding of how to keep safe when using the internet 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.
- 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.
