What it is like to attend
Children show high levels of engagement and develop positive attitudes towards their learning. All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make good progress from their starting points.
Children form warm and affectionate bonds with the staff. Children arrive happily, keen to share their news. They behave well and show concern for one another. For example, a child sits quietly, deeply engaged in exploring a book. Another child asks, 'are you ok?' Children use good manners without prompts. They enjoy taking responsibility, such as being the daily helper. They learn to manage their own personal care, helping to promote their self-esteem and develop their independence.
Children thrive outdoors, where they spend a high proportion of their day. They are supported by the conscientious staff, who plan an array of exciting activities linked to children's current interests, learning styles and learning needs. Children learn about colour blending. They operate spray bottles that contain paint, helping to strengthen their small muscles in readiness for developing further skills, such as scissor and pencil control. Children discuss how they can make purple. They use their thinking skills to predict as they experiment. A child proudly exclaims, 'I've made green with blue and yellow'.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- provide parents with more precise information about their children's next stage of learning, to enable them to further extend this learning at home n enhance staff teaching skills further, to support them to consistently provide challenges for older children.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £40.00 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.
- 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.
