What it is like to attend
The manager and staff provide children with an abundance of exciting, purposefully planned learning experiences that captivate their interests and promote a love of learning. Babies and children embrace fully the opportunities to play and learn in safety. All children are fully equipped with the skills they need in readiness for school. Pre-school children demonstrate high levels of learning during their independent play. They have clear aims and negotiate and solve problems as they play harmoniously with their friends. Children form extremely close bonds with staff.
The manager and staff continuously review their curriculum to ensure that it accurately reflects the current learning needs of the children. They place a strong focus on providing children with experiences they have not had anywhere else.

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.
