What it is like to attend
Children thrive at this excellent child-centred, nurturing pre-school. Children are excited to attend as they happily enter and greet the members of staff. They quickly settle as they join an activity of their choice. Children clearly demonstrate close bonds with their key person and have great friendships with their peers.
Children have great fun throughout the day with their friends. For example, they shout out in excitement as they play hide and seek. They take turns as they come down the slide. They carefully create bunches of flowers in the role-play flower shop.
Children demonstrate that they feel extremely safe and cared for by fully engaging in all activities, with adults and their peers. Huge smiles, squeals of laughter and expressions of wonder can be seen and heard throughout the day.

No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £42.00 a day 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.
- 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.
