What it is like to attend
Children settle quickly and feel secure in this warm, friendly and caring environment. Children show that they enjoy their time at nursery. For example, they smile, giggle and talk excitedly with staff and other children about their day.
Children separate confidently from parents and carers. They form strong bonds with staff, and babies snuggle into staff for story time.
Children show positive attitudes to their learning and make good progress. Staff skilfully organise the environment to promote children's natural curiosity and eagerness to learn. Children benefit from a good range of experiences, which prepare them well for their future success. For example, babies practise climbing steps to go down slides and have a go at feeding themselves with spoons. Older children have their physical skills promoted through playing outside on obstacle courses, and riding scooters around a racetrack.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
n Strengthen staff training so all staff are able to extend older children's learning and thinking skills through well-focused questions n develop staff's understanding of how to promote children's independence consistently.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
