What it is like to attend
All children thrive under the care of the highly experienced and qualified staff team at this child-centred nursery. Children and their parents receive an extremely warm welcome by leaders and staff into the nursery. Staff have very high expectations for children's behaviour. Children settle exceptionally well and form excellent bonds with staff. All staff ensure that the settling-in process provides reassurance and emotional security for children and their parents. For example, staff initially replicate children's feeding and sleeping routines from home. This ensures that children quickly feel safe and at home in the nursery. Children develop the confidence to play and explore.
Children develop a love of learning as a direct result of the staff, curriculum and learning environment. The focus on children's communication and language skills provides a central theme from which all other areas of children's learning are derived. Staff are excellent role models for communication and language. Babies hear lots of sounds, words and early language. Children throughout the nursery thoroughly enjoy being sung to and singing with staff. Pre-school children eagerly use wooden sticks to replicate the rhythm of a song during an activity. Staff extend these interests with children.
Staff introduce and encourage children to explore a wide selection of exciting books. Staff use stories as an opportunity to spark children's imaginations and learn new vocabulary. They use props, exaggerated voices and expressive facial expressions. Staff pause and wait for children to fill in the gaps of the story. They use sign language consistently, and even the youngest children begin to use this.

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.
