What it is like to attend
Leaders and staff create a calm and relaxing atmosphere in the pre-school. They are positive role models and have high expectations of all children. Children settle very well and separate easily from their parents. They demonstrate positive relationships with staff. For example, they come for comfort and reassurance, when needed. Children feel safe and secure, as staff are welcoming and very caring towards them.
Leaders design their curriculum based on children's interests and learning needs.
For example, children learn about an upcoming festival as staff read books to them about their favourite characters celebrating Diwali. Overall, staff have a secure knowledge of the children's needs and what they want them to learn. They praise children for their efforts. This helps them to develop their confidence and selfesteem. Staff use information gathered through observations of all children to provide meaningful experiences to help extend children's learning even further.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- focus more precisely on the key skills children need to learn, to ensure their individual learning is maximised n support children to gain further understanding of practices that contribute to their good health.

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.
