What it is like to attend
Children are confident and independent learners. Staff support children to explore their environment and the curriculum on offer. Children show their delight as they explore the outdoors in the fresh air. They practise their larger physical skills. For example, they push themselves on wheeled toys or climb and slide down the apparatus. Staff also provide a range of activities to support children's fine motor skills, such as play dough. Children use a range of tools, such as exploring ice with hammers. Developing these skills helps to provide children with the muscle strength needed for early writing. Children have positive attitudes to their play.
Children demonstrate this when they enjoy exploring ice, and they smile with delight as it slips from their hands.
Staff are kind and caring. They build strong and respectful relationships with children, who are listened to and given choices. Overall, children behave well and follow instructions. Staff are good role models of the behaviour they expect. Staff talk to children about keeping safe, such as about road safety when they go out into the community or to the nursery garden. When using equipment, staff encourage children to take age-appropriate risks, and they supervise children well.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support children with opportunities to think about and consolidate the information given by staff during some activities, taking account of their need to think about and share their responses and ideas.

Still missing for Sunshine Corner Pre-School
- Meals
- Nappies
- Waiting list
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £21.00 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.
