What it is like to attend
Children are happy and thoroughly enjoy their time at the pre-school. They receive a friendly and warm welcome from staff, with whom they have formed secure bonds. Children regularly reach out to staff for cuddles throughout the day. This demonstrates how safe and secure they feel. Staff are good role models, who listen respectfully to children and guide them on how to treat others with kindness.
Children behave well and understand what is expected of them.
Staff promote children's independence well. For instance, children learn to put on their coats and shoes, ready for their outdoor sessions. Children show pride in accomplishing these tasks, proudly announcing, 'I did it'. They enjoy lots of time outdoors to support their physical skills, core strength and well-being. Children have regular access to outdoor play spaces and the oldest children also head off to the nearby woods for weekly forest school sessions. Staff provide a range of resources and activities to help children to move in different ways, such as bicycles, scooters and balancing equipment. Children confidently climb, throw and catch, as well as enjoying the 20-minute weekly walk to forest school. They understand how to keep themselves safe. For example, during the forest school activity, children clearly explain the boundaries and safety rules in place.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to develop a more secure understanding of how to implement the curriculum for the youngest children n strengthen staff skills in recognising the opportunities that arise to build on children's interests in activities to extend their language and thinking more fully.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- 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.
