What it is like to attend
Staff build lovely bonds with children and confidently explain where each child is with their learning and what they need to learn next. Staff plan and provide a wide range of activities and resources to follow and develop their interests. For instance, children and staff work together to create an area where children can run around a circuit. Staff observe and quickly adjust the area using shapes to indicate to children where they need to slow down to avoid accidents. Children instantly respond to the change.
Children learn about numbers and one-to-one correspondence as they select the number of balls that represent the number on their card. Children use mathematical language as they can identify nine is a bigger number as it is more than five. Children eagerly count how many children are in the group and ask for magnifying glasses when a ladybug is discovered on a leaf to enable them to count the spots. Behaviour is very good as children know show self-control as they wait patiently for their turn. Children begin to tidy up, they sing as they complete the task by putting toys away as they work together with their friends to quickly complete the task.
Staff identify children with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those who speak English as an additional language. Children are well supported by bilingual staff, who help children in their home languages, while also supporting them to learn English. The leadership team put early interventions in place to support children from the very start of their time in the setting. Managers and staff work very closely with other professionals and parents to ensure children can access the additional support they need. The carefully planned curriculum, with individual tailored next steps for all children, sequences learning by building on what children already know and can do.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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