What it is like to attend
Staff provide a broad and balanced curriculum which enables children to make good progress in their learning and development. Staff know the children's interests and use these to engage them in meaningful learning. Older children are particularly interested in dinosaurs, so staff ensure that children can access reference books alongside their play to refer to. Children make dinosaur moulds from dough and are keen to identify which dinosaur they have made using reference books where they identify key features.
Staff are kind and considerate towards children. Babies build confidence as they explore their environment. They laugh as they play peekaboo with staff and show fascination as they reach out to touch their reflections in mirrors. Staff ensure that all children regularly sing songs and rhymes, which builds their language and communication. Babies copy key words and rock from side to side as they sing 'The
Children have positive attitudes to learning. They are sociable and confidently talk about what they like doing at the setting. Children behave well as staff set clear boundaries and support children to consider the impact of their behaviour. Staff help children to reflect on their emotions to support a harmonious environment.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- improve the key-person arrangements for the babies to ensure that each child has an identified person to oversee their care and progress in the absence of their own key person n develop partnerships with parents to ensure that all parents are aware of who their child's key person is and how to build their child's continued learning at home.

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
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.
