What it is like to attend
Children thrive in this exceptional setting. Leaders and staff work together to develop strong and respectful relationships with parents when children first start.
This impacts positively on the trusting relationships and secure attachment that babies and children develop with staff. A robust and highly effective key-person system ensures the emotional well-being of children. Skilful and highly responsive communication creates a sense of connection and belonging for all children across the setting. These feelings of well-being support children to access the ambitious curriculum developed by leaders. Children settle quickly and are keen to explore the interesting learning environment.
Children develop as curious and resilient learners. With skilful support from staff, they are keen to try new activities. Children confidently engage in adventurous play that provides them with challenge. Staff are close at hand to offer simple instructions, skilful teaching and emotional support. Staff consistently celebrate children's efforts and achievements. Children are excited to have a go at a whole range of experiences. For example, on a windy day, they delight in trying to fly a kite. Staff model how to get the kite off the ground. They engage children in making and then flying their own kites. Children learn about the power of the wind as they persevere with getting their kites in the air.

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.
