What it is like to attend
Children are happy and thoroughly enjoy spending time at this well-organised and inspiring pre-school. Children and parents are warmly greeted by staff as they arrive. Staff spend quality time with the children to get to know them well and establish secure relationships. This supports children to feel safe and secure during their time at the pre-school.
The managers and staff have designed a curriculum that is ambitious, overall, for all children. Staff provide a wealth of engaging learning experiences based on children's interests and their next steps in learning. Staff interact and engage well with the children during their play and exploration. For example, as children make play dough together, staff encourage them to explore what will happen if they add too much water. The children talk about how it is sticky and then know to add more flour to rectify this. This supports all children to make good progress in their learning.
Children's behaviour is extremely good. Staff act as positive role models and communicate clear expectations to the children. For example, staff consistently explain the golden rules to the children as part of their daily routine. Children show their clear understanding of these rules as they remind each other of them throughout the day. Children respond well to the praise that they receive from staff for their efforts and achievements. This supports their self-esteem and confidence well.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to develop their teaching skills further to fully support children's mathematical development.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £24.00 a session 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.
