What it is like to attend
Children arrive at the nursery with very positive attitudes to learning. They have access to a rich and varied curriculum which keeps them highly motivated to learn.
Language development features highly in the educational programme. Staff use a range of highly effective strategies to support children with speech and language delay, as well as those who speak English as an additional language. For instance, when reading to children, staff work extremely well together to bring stories to life.
They are successful in evoking children's curiosity and emotions. This was shown, for example, by young children who giggled and squealed happily as they listened to the story about a bear. The teaching of mathematics is equally strong. For example, during an activity, children demonstrate their excellent knowledge of numbers as they measure accurately in centimetres. Children benefit greatly from the outstanding focus placed on supporting their emotional needs. This is particularly evident when children and families face difficulties. The expectations for what children know and can achieve are exceptionally high. Children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make rapid and sustained progress in their development. They are safe and emotionally secure, resulting in superb behaviour.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
