What it is like to attend
Children thrive at this outstanding pre-school and they make excellent progress.
Staff provide children with an exceptional start to their early education. This ensures that children have all the essential skills in readiness for school.
Children are highly motivated, independent learners who engage in purposeful play consistently. Staff expertly help them to extend their knowledge and skills. Children use their knowledge and apply it to new situations. For example, they talk about the shapes that have formed when sheets of ice break up. They are inventive and stand the ice pieces up to make small structures

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £6.50 an hour 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.
