What you might pay

What it is like to attend
Teaching is consistent across all rooms. For example, staff sing the same songs to babies as they do to older children, and they praise them for their involvement with a 'high five'. This helps children to feel safe and secure. During the day, children move between different parts of the building, such as the garden and the dining room. This helps them to become familiar with what will happen when they start school, increasing their confidence and self-esteem.
Staff generally care about children's happiness and well-being. For example, they respond appropriately when babies start to feel unwell, such as giving them a drink and offering a cuddle. This positively contributes towards the strong bonds staff and children demonstrate. Children listen well to staff. They show an active desire to join in with play. For instance, older children learn to take turns. They know that when their name is called, it is their turn.
Children adopt positive attitudes and learn to behave well. For instance, older children cooperate with their peers as they paint together on the same piece of paper. Staff use distraction to support those younger children who find it hard to share, such as providing them with more trains. This quickly defuses the situation and children continue with their learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- evaluate children's experiences to ensure that staff provide them with more choice to self-select and extend their own learning n provide more opportunities for most-able children to further develop their selfhelp skills n build on the organisation of key times of the day to reduce children's waiting times and for staff to maintain their interactions with children.

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
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.
