What it is like to attend
Staff provide children with lots of exciting sensory activities that fully engage them and promote their development in all the areas of learning. They are highly focused on encouraging children to be active, curious and self-directed learners. Children play outdoors for extended periods of time throughout the day. Pre-school children become thoroughly absorbed in their play as they make their own concoctions with water, bark, soil and leaves. They paint the trees and walk in and out of the coloured water and examine their own footprints. During such activities, staff support and extend children's learning effectively.
Toddlers enjoy filling and emptying containers with the sand. They make marks with the chalk on the ground. They discover tiny spiders and look at them with awe and wonder. Staff encourage the toddlers to count how many legs the spiders have. Under close supervision, babies poke, squash and flatten dough. During such times, staff provide a running commentary, and they consistently model good speech and language skills throughout the day. This helps all children to develop their language skills.
Staff build strong relationships with children and their families. They know the children well. Children are happy, confident and relaxed. Staff continually model respectful and appropriate behaviours with each other and the children. They successfully support children to follow the simple rules that help to keep them safe and encourage respect for others.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- provide older children with even more opportunities to learn about size, length, weight and capacity n enhance the already exciting outdoor physical opportunities available so that the older, most-able children experience an even higher level of physical challenge in their play.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £83.00 a day 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.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
