What you might pay

What it is like to attend
Children are very content, confident and curious and have secure bonds with staff.
They show they feel safe and protected as they happily play alongside staff and their peers. Children competently seek staff out for support when needed. For example, babies hand their bibs to staff for help to put them on. Children respond positively to staff as they are supported to share and take turns. For example, older children cooperate well as they work together to get insects through the tape gaps on the tray.
Children show very positive attitudes towards their learning. For example, older children enjoy dressing up in different professional costumes as they take on the role of those professions. Staff ask questions to promote children's critical thinking and introduce the mathematical concepts of size and amounts. They ask older children to estimate how many more worms they will need to make eight if they already have six. Babies thoroughly enjoy exploring the garden as they toddle around. Staff encourage them to consider and manage risks as they challenge themselves, walking with containers in their hands.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to ensure that adult-led activities engage every child in their learning.

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.
