What it is like to attend
Children thrive in this exciting and highly nurturing nursery. The nursery ethos of
'providing children with the best start in their learning journey' shines through.
Children have ample opportunities to develop to the very best of their abilities. The passionate and caring staff work harmoniously to plan and prepare engaging activities to support and challenge children's development. For example, as children play with the pretend farm animals, babies learn animal sounds and the older children learn where milk comes from. Older children are enthralled as they learn how to milk cows using a cardboard model. They engage in rich conversations and discuss the different body parts of a cow, such as udders. Children's learning is consolidated with a trip to the farm.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- 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.
