What it is like to attend
The manager has a clear vision. She is committed to offering an inclusive provision and plans a curriculum to support children's learning from their starting points. She supports staff to develop each child's unique personality and build strong bonds with children. This helps them to understand each child's preferred learning style.
Some children benefit from learning outside. Staff support this, taking children into the outdoor area while other children carry on learning indoors. Children, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) make progress.
Staff know the importance of offering children sensory experiences to help them learn. They tailor these experiences to meet children's needs. For example, children play with dough. Staff talk to them about the texture and introduce new words in their vocabulary. Scent is added to the dough. This helps children with visual impairment to access the activity. Older children manipulate dough to strengthen their finger muscles. This helps them when mark making and learning to write.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- plan the routine effectively, so that distractions are minimised and children remain engaged in their learning n support staff to be consistent in managing unwanted behaviours, so children listen to and respond to adult requests

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- 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.
