What it is like to attend
Children are greeted by knowledgeable staff who are welcoming and friendly in their approach. Staff at this small, homely setting help children to feel that they are valued and that they belong. Staff spend time with each child looking at their family photographs. They talk about who they can see in the pictures and children proudly show their friends. Children show that they feel safe and secure as they explore the environment, and they know where to find their drinks and favourite activities. Children beam with excitement as they find the musical instruments.
They bang and shake them as staff and other children sing along. Staff act as good role models. They support the children to follow the expectations, such as using good manners. Young children use simple sign language to say thank you at snack time, without prompting.
Leaders have an excellent understanding of the curriculum. They have high expectations for all children. Leaders have carefully designed a curriculum that is aspirational and builds on what children know and can do over time. The curriculum gives priority to supporting children's progress across the prime areas of learning. The setting continues to identify the impact on children of the COVID-19
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to respond to what they see in the moment to enhance children's learning further n provide targeted support for staff to precisely address minor inconsistencies in the delivery of the curriculum.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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