What it is like to attend
Children feel happy and safe in this warm and nurturing environment. They form close relationships with staff and are keen to explore the wide range of activities available to them. Staff and managers have high expectations for children. They aim for every child to become confident, independent and a good communicator by the time they leave the setting. Staff use sign language and simple spoken prompts to help children understand the daily routines. Children's positive responses show they know what to expect and feel secure in their surroundings.
The curriculum is securely based on all areas of learning. Children enjoy being outdoors, where they have many opportunities to be active and to explore. They spend time building with large blocks and are careful to stack the blocks on top of each other. Staff use these opportunities to introduce mathematics to children.
Together, they count how many blocks they have and talk about 'short' and 'tall'.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - develop staff's interactions with children so that they consistently adapt activities to meet children's needs and extend their learning n ensure all staff know children's individual next steps for learning to consistently give children the individual support they need to achieve.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- What does it cost, all in? 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.
