What it is like to attend
Children flourish at this setting, which the manager describes as a 'small community'. Children run to the door and press the bell independently. They are eager to find their friends and explore the fascinating activities that staff prepare for them. Children feel safe and happy.
Welcoming staff are nurturing, and children approach them for support and praise, both of which are liberally given. Children feel very loved and secure, and staff build on this confidence to encourage resilience in their learning. Children know what staff expect of them and their behaviour is exemplary. They demonstrate very positive attitudes to learning and listen intently to adults. During a physical activity, children respond eagerly to staff instructions to move their bodies in different ways as they stretch out their muscles.
Staff are highly experienced and are exceptional role models, so children are extremely well behaved and guided by the nursery's golden rules. Children are highly respectful to each other and to staff. They know and enjoy the daily routines and line up politely when it is time to go outside and attend to their own personal hygiene confidently.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £7.75 an hour 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.
