What it is like to attend
The manager and her team have high expectations for all children in their care.
Staff know what they want children to learn and deliver a balanced curriculum to support their learning and development. All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, make good progress from their starting points. Staff plan children's learning to build on what they know and can do.
Children are well prepared for their next stages of learning. Staff work effectively with parents and external professionals.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support quieter children more to form friendships with their peers to extend their social skills n support children during whole group activities to help them to manage their own behaviour and develop concentration.

Still missing for Westbury Baptist Pre-School

- Funded hours
- Youngest age taken
- Meals
- 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
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? 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.
- 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.
