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.

What it is like to attend

All children enter the setting exceptionally well, they arrive with smiles and laughter. Children run excitedly to the enriching environment, provided with thought-provoking and meaningful activities. There is a clear strongly embedded curriculum that is engaging and focused on each individual child. Children show exceptional progress from their starting points provided by parents. Information is gathered from child's voice and parent about what they like and would like to learn.

For example, children play with play dough in the kitchen corner. Staff engage at their level interacting in their role-play scenarios, they draw other children into the play to strengthen social situation. Staff and child interactions are heart-warming to watch. They provide an inclusive approach engaging all children, building up their self-confidence within social situations.

Staff place a significant focus on the setting's routine and promoting independence.

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.
