What it is like to attend
Children benefit from a curriculum that helps to develop their emotional well-being.
They behave very well. Children listen to staff and follow instructions. They make friendships with others and form positive relationships with staff. Children listen and engage in conversations with staff, such as talking about their recent holidays and summer adventures. They show that they are confident to express their views and ideas. Children re-enact real-life experiences. For instance, they tell staff that they want to be a doctor when they grow up. Children dress up and use pretend play accessories, such as a stethoscope, when playing with baby dolls. They pretend to administer medicine and read stories to their dolls. This helps to promote children's imagination and creative skills.
Children show that they enjoy their time at the setting. Babies and young children settle well. They explore their environment and make independent choices in their play. For instance, they use brushes and their hands to explore various colours of paint. Children tell staff that they are painting rainbows. Children use toy vehicles, including large diggers, during sand play activities. Staff play alongside children and support their interests. For instance, they provide children with storybooks to help to keep them motivated to learn.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen existing performance management procedures to identify and address any emerging weaknesses in practice n enhance partnership working with parents, particularly in relation to sharing information about children's learning and development to help parents continue their learning 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.
