What it is like to attend
The curriculum and inviting play spaces encourage children to make choices about their play. Staff skilfully use all opportunities to develop children's communication and language skills, for example, in their imaginative play. The curriculum builds on children's interests. For example, children are very keen to use the watercolours to paint their nails in the 'nail bar'. They thoroughly enjoy painting their own, each other's and the ice hands' nails.
Children are engaged in their learning, and they show curiosity in living things.
They investigate well, using magnifying glasses, laminated pictures and collection pots to explore further. Children use language well to describe what they see and when they have seen them before. Staff interact well, repeating sentences accurately and introducing new vocabulary for children to use in their independent learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- provide children with clear explanations to help them keep themselves and others safe n build on opportunities to encourage children to think critically and solve problems for themselves.

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.
