What the inspector found

One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

Ofsted has looked into a concern about this setting. That means something was raised and Ofsted acted on it. It does not by itself say what was found — the document does.

What it is like to attend

Children receive exceptional care and education from the highly motivated staff team in this setting. Staff have the knowledge and skills to continually monitor children's unique learning needs and adapt the curriculum to suit these. Children are very well settled and highly motivated to learn. They ask staff questions to get more information about how to 'ignite' the open fire to cook pitta bread and listen carefully to them. Staff skilfully observe children at play and identify the key moments that they can step in to introduce new vocabulary or build on the detailed discussions between children to add to their learning experience.

Staff are excellent role models for children's behaviour. They demonstrate their high expectations and the setting's 'golden rules' in everything they do. As a result, children's behaviour is excellent. They invite each other to join in their play and make space for their friends, happily sharing and passing resources. Older children often discuss how they intend to manage complex issues such as how long each of them will spend taking a turn using resources because they understand the value of each having a fair and equal turn.

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.
