What it is like to attend
Children separate confidently from their parents as they arrive at this calm and welcoming setting. Staff talk to parents about their child's morning and their weekends. They gather information about the children when they first start to help them understand the children's needs and how best they can support them. This includes children with English as an additional language. Staff recognise different ways to communicate with children, such as using words from their home language, picture cards and simple signing. This helps all children to settle and form bonds with staff.
Staff have high expectations for children's behaviour and development. They are good role models and children behave well. Staff clearly explain to children the expectations of the setting. Children play nicely alongside and with their friends.
They show a positive attitude to their learning. Staff plan activities that capture children's interest. They encourage children to stay at activities for extended periods of time. For example, children excitedly explore sensory activities and younger children show delight as they splash in a water tray with their friends.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to give younger children time to listen and respond during interactions.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £84.00 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.
