What it is like to attend
Staff have high expectations for children's learning and development in this inclusive and nurturing pre-school. Children of all ages have a wonderful time and access a wealth of resources. The well-planned curriculum is based on what children know and what they need to learn next. Staff know all the children very well through their close working relationships. Key staff understand children's starting points in learning and support them to make good progress in their development.
Staff use a consistent approach to managing behaviour and have high expectations of all children. Staff use good levels of verbal communication alongside physical signs and signals, such as 'high five' and thumbs up, to praise and encourage children. This raises children's self-esteem, belief and confidence in their own abilities. Children understand the golden rules of pre-school and staff remind children of these when managing any escalated behaviours. Staff encourage children to reflect on their feelings and children learn how to self-manage any conflicts.
Children have plenty of opportunities to make choices about their play. This supports their decision-making and independence skills effectively. Children are motivated to play and learn. They benefit from a wide variety of activities which are tailored to their interests. Children show good levels of concentration and are keen to try new challenges.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support some staff to provide higher levels of teaching and interactions, to further enhance children's learning experiences n ensure resources are carefully considered and support children to meet the desired learning intentions during some adult-led activities.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £42.25 a day still the rate? 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.
