What it is like to attend
Children who attend this setting are warmly welcomed by kind, caring staff, who know them well. Staff are attentive to every child's individual needs. They recognise when children need a little extra support and provide cuddles and reassurance if children become upset. As a result, children are happy and quickly settle to their chosen activities. Staff implement a curriculum that is based on children's individual development needs and interests. Children explore a range of interesting activities, across all the areas of learning, that capture their attention and motivate them to take part. Staff monitor children's progress and swiftly implement additional strategies and support if they identify any gaps in children's learning.
Staff have high expectations for children's behaviour. They act as positive role models and explain to children how their behaviour may impact on others. Older children learn about emotions and use books and props to talk about how they feel. Children learn about the local community in which they live. They go on trips to the shops and walks in the neighbourhood. They develop respect as they visit the cathedral to look at the Remembrance Day poppies and learn about cultures and celebrations that are different to their own.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- consider the organisation of snack and lunchtimes to prevent children from waiting for periods of time and to make them more social occasions n support staff to recognise when to extend activities even further so that children get the very best from their learning.

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.
