What it is like to attend
Children are happy and have fun at this pre-school, which has a warm family feel.
They form close attachments to their key person, which helps children to feel safe and secure. Children behave well and have developed close friendships with their peers, which supports their social skills well. All children, including children with additional needs, make good progress from their starting points.
Children develop a love for books from an early age. Staff regularly read to all children. They encourage discussions about what is happening in the story and what the words mean. Furthermore, they engage children and ask questions about the story that they have read. For example, they ask children what 'Little Red

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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