What it is like to attend
Children engage well in activities in this welcoming pre-school. They build strong bonds with their key workers through a structured settling-in process. All children are warmly welcomed into the setting by the staff on their arrival and the caring and friendly staff help children to feel safe and secure. Children are settled and confident and build good relationships with their peers. Those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) flourish in this setting. This is because staff work closely with outside agencies and parents to ensure they receive the additional support required to meet their specific needs.
Children enjoy a rich variety of experiences. For example, they are often taken on outings in the local area and staff arrange for pets to be brought into the setting so that children without pets get experience caring for animals. Children are also developing a love of reading. As well as fun, interactive story sessions, there are a wide variety of books available for children to look at at their leisure. Books have also been created using pictures of the children, which they thoroughly enjoy looking at. The children have access to wide variety of resources inside and out, which keep them engaged and enhance their learning. Children benefit from the embedded structure of the day and respond well to routine. As a result, children are well behaved and are aware of boundaries. These clear expectations and routines also ensure that children are becoming increasingly independent and demonstrate good self-care skills such toileting, hand washing and brushing their teeth.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- ensure a clear intent for the sequenced teaching of mathematics across the pre- school, based on the identified, individual needs of children n ensure staff are confident in the teaching of the maths curriculum, ensuring good progress for all children.

- 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £5.00 an hour 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.
- 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.
