What it is like to attend
Children thrive in this exceptional setting. Staff put relationships with children at the heart of everything they do. The setting has an ethos of 'belong, support and nurture', which is focal throughout staff's interactions with children. Staff quickly respond to babies waking from their sleep. They comfort them with a cuddle until they are fully awake and ready to explore the play opportunities on offer. Leaders strive to ensure that every child, parent and staff member feels valued and has a strong sense of belonging in the setting. Staff provide experiences to learn about each other's cultures. For instance, children and staff try on saris when it is Diwali and staff make food from recipes provided by parents for Bastille day.
Leaders speak passionately about their high expectations for each and every child.
They have developed a curriculum that is inclusive and highly ambitious for all. This includes children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The curriculum is well thought out and builds on children's knowledge and skills over time. Staff use a meticulous assessment process through individual 'learning stories' to ensure that all staff understand what each child needs to learn 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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £76.65 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.
