What it is like to attend
Children demonstrate that they feel safe and happy. They arrive happily at this welcoming pre-school, eager to start their busy day. Staff warmly greet children and demonstrate a caring approach. Children have secure attachments with staff, who are caring, nurturing and kind. Children who are new settle quickly and form good friendships with their peers. Staff know the children very well and use their understanding of children's interests and learning needs well to plan and deliver an ambitious curriculum. For example, children readily engage in the exciting, carefully planned indoor and outdoor activities. They become fully absorbed when they plant seeds and flowers. They talk about the need for sunshine and water to help them grow. Children experiment with a range of different pouring and scooping equipment. They explore colours and shapes in a sensory tray with 'gloop'. They choose to add vehicles to the tray and create a construction site.
Staff provide a strong, supportive and inclusive environment that helps children to enhance their personal, social and emotional development very well. They have high expectations for children's behaviour. Children learn to share and take turns well. They behave well and show positive attitudes towards their learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to reflect the needs of younger children in group activities to fully extend their learning n build on questioning techniques to increase children's learning further.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £30.00 a day still the rate? 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.
- 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.
