What it is like to attend
Children thrive at this very friendly and welcoming setting. They form close bonds with staff, who are very caring, fun, respectful and kind. Relationships between staff and children are superb. Children are very settled, happy and secure and new children settle very quickly.
Children engage fully in their play and activities. They show very high levels of focus and concentration as they make pretend potions from water, flowers and herbs. Staff encourage children to think of their own ideas and solutions. For example, children work out for themselves how to retrieve a spoon that has become trapped inside a bottle. When drawing pictures, staff encourage them to think of different ways to make the clouds they draw stand out from the white background of the paper. Staff support children to investigate whether different items float or sink. Children experiment with magnets on different surfaces and use a fan to explore how far different materials travel in air.
Staff consistently praise and encourage children. This helps to build their confidence and self-esteem. Staff are clear with their praise. This helps children to recognise and be proud of their achievements. Staff's support for children's behaviour is excellent. Children know to wait at the side of the track for their turn on bicycles, tricycles and scooters. They wait patiently for their friends to finish and help each other as they reach the challenging, uphill part of the course.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £5.45 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.
