What it is like to attend
Children receive excellent care and education at this warm, welcoming and totally child-centred setting. They are incredibly happy and content, which shows they feel safe and secure. Children confidently explore the provision. They access an extensive range of exciting, stimulating activities which are diligently planned by staff. Children become highly engaged and concentrate on tasks. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff support them with quality interactions that extend children's learning. Children's behaviour is impeccable. They follow the rules of the setting, share, take turns and interact respectfully with staff and their friends.
Leaders and staff work together to plan a flexible curriculum that incorporates all children's needs. Staff form close, nurturing and supportive relationships with children and their families. This enables staff to build on children's learning and experiences at home. For example, following a baby's visit to a farm, staff plan activities that captivate babies' interests. Babies delight in playing with farm animals in mud, straw and sand. They listen intently and echo songs sung by staff who play alongside them. Later in the day, babies repeat the morning's learning independently. They sing 'E-I-E-I-O' tunefully as they play.

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.
