What it is like to attend
Staff form loving, nurturing and respectful relationships with children in their care.
They are compassionate and responsive to children's care needs. Children readily approach staff when they need help or reassurance. Staff successfully promote children's emotional well-being and independence. Children show impressive skills when they put on their coats and outdoor shoes. Staff role model and talk through each stage of trickier tasks, such as doing up coat zips. Older children try hard to follow these instructions and smile proudly when they succeed. Staff are fair and consistent in their high expectations of children's behaviour. Children respond with clear understanding of the rules and well-established routines of the day. This helps to create a calm and productive atmosphere.
Leaders and staff create a vibrant and inviting learning environment for children.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support all staff to recognise when to allow children to continue with their play without interruption, and when to intervene with more purpose n provide further opportunities to celebrate children's backgrounds, cultures and languages to help them make comparisons between their own way of life and those of others.

Still missing for Teatimers
- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £38.00 a day 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.
