What it is like to attend

Staff welcome children as they arrive, happy and ready to play and learn in this nurturing, stimulating and safe environment. Staff support children's language development well. They provide back-and-forth discussions. Children who speak more than one language are encouraged to speak their home languages. Staff learn and speak key words to children in their home languages, as they celebrate multilingualism in the setting. Babies babble and use single words, point to things and use gestures to communicate with staff and children. Toddlers listen and respond to simple instructions. They help to tidy away resources before mealtimes.

Older children enjoy listening to staff read stories and select books from the setting's library after breakfast.

The key-person approach is successful, as all children settle well and achieve. Staff build close bonds with children and their parents. Children express preferences and make choices about their play. They are well-behaved and confident. Staff provide children with many opportunities to develop physically. Babies crawl, stand up and walk and move with ease and enjoyment to the exciting activities in the playroom.

What Ofsted told them to improve

To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:

- provide parents with regular and detailed information about their children's progress and next steps in learning n offer parents suggestions to help them support their children's learning at home.

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.
