What it is like to attend
Staff have close and nurturing relationships with children. They value each child highly. Staff get to know children well and find out about babies' likes and dislikes and their home care routines. They reflect these in activities and in the daily routine, which helps children to settle well. Staff have high expectations of children and manage their behaviour well. They ensure that changeovers in the daily routine are calm and organised. For instance, staff give children five minutes notice before it is time to tidy up for lunch. This helps children to calmly finish their play before lunch. Staff share group rules with children, such as to be kind to each other. Children behave in positive ways.
All children make good progress and learn valuable skills in preparation for school.
Staff teach children good mathematical skills. They make a height chart to compare children's heights and use words such as 'taller' and 'short'. Children sort and group objects according to shape. Staff count objects with children as they play and sing number rhymes to support their understanding of numbers. They support children to gain a good understanding of the world well. Staff teach older children the names and functions of different body parts and organs. They plant flowers and vegetables in the garden with children to teach them how things grow.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop more problem-solving opportunities for older children to enhance their thinking skills further n strengthen the curriculum to enhance children's physical development further.

What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? 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.
