What it is like to attend
Since the last inspection, the manager has worked hard to strengthen the curriculum. Leaders and staff have made significant improvements to the systems for observation and planning. This has had a positive impact on children's progress.
Children's progress at age two is routinely checked, as required. The manager closely monitors children's development and understands where children need additional support. She then uses this information to focus staff training. Overall, children engage in a carefully planned, age-appropriate curriculum. Children's opinions, views and comments are highly respected. Children are asked what they like and these preferences are included in activities provided. This careful consideration of children's voices, helps to engage and enthuse children in their play.
Staff are kind and gentle. Children are happy and reassured by the warm affection they receive from staff. For instance, babies seek staff out to sit on their knee during games. They flourish emotionally as they enjoy nurturing and sensitive care.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- implement plans to improve and develop outdoor learning opportunities to fully support those who prefer to learn outdoors n make better use of children's next steps to focus staff planning and teaching with greater precision and help children make more rapid progress.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- What does it cost, all in? 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.
- 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.
