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 inspector, 19 March 2025 · read the full report

What it is like to attend

Leaders have continued to make improvements since the last inspection. For example, with support from early years professionals, they have constructed a meaningful and engaging curriculum that matches children's interests, needs and abilities. There is a strong emphasis on developing and enhancing children's communication and language skills, such as through a range of stories. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), receive targeted interventions to address any gaps in their language development. In this way, children's vocabulary widens and they become confident communicators.

Staff provide a nurturing and stimulating environment where all children and families are welcomed. Children demonstrate a keen attitude to learning. They show growing levels of perseverance, resilience and critical thinking. For instance, if their tower structures collapse, children rapidly rebuild them by adapting the original design. Staff offer plenty of praise for children's efforts and achievements.

Children beam with pride, showing a true sense of belonging and self-worth.

What Ofsted told them to improve

To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:

- enhance planning, organisation and implementation of adult-led activities to ensure these are more finely tuned to suit individual learning needs of each child n support staff to plan and manage routines and group times more effectively to ensure children's continuous attention and engagement in learning.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £8.50 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.
  • 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.
