What it is like to attend
Children who attend this safe setting are settled and confident learners. Staff support children to settle quickly and, as a result, all children are happy to enter the setting without their parents or carers. Staff encourage children to be independent, for example, through self-registration. They support children to be enthusiastic learners through displaying enjoyment and excitement in children's learning. Overall, staff extend children's learning and encourage children to offer suggestions.
Staff know children very well and, as a result, they share in-depth conversations with children about their families and experiences. They know children's next steps in development and share these with parents. Staff implement the curriculum through carefully planned activities and provision. As a result, children are well prepared for school. Staff support younger children during activities and at group times so that all children access learning at their own level.
Staff encourage children to make choices, for example choosing where they would like to play. Children work alongside each other, chatting happily. They manage their own self-care, washing their hands and blowing their noses independently.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- help children to extend their knowledge of internet safety n support staff to help children to remain engaged in activities in which they are interested.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- Is £36.00 a day still the rate? 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.
