What it is like to attend
Children arrive happy and excited as they are welcomed by the friendly, nurturing staff. They show exceedingly high levels of independence as they find their pegs by recognising their written names and hanging up their coats. Children have formed secure attachments which support them to feel safe. They seek out staff to show them the fruit and vegetables they have brought in for the harvest festival. During circle time, the children use excellent communication skills as they discuss the things they have brought in from home. They discuss the differences and similarities with each other. For example, children explore some corn on the cob; they notice some hair on the bottom and discuss if they were roots. Staff used open-ended questions to support the conversation and gain an understanding of what children know. They decided that it was hair because the sweetcorn was picked off a stem, not dug out of the ground, and did not need roots.
The children behave exceptionally well. Staff act as great role models for them.
They respect each child and take time to listen to them. As a result, children use their manners and are very polite. They praise and celebrate each other's achievements. Children recognise that their actions may affect others. For example, children find a little and big snail; they look at them through magnifying glasses and discuss how the snails looked 'worried' or 'ill'. The children decided to put the two snails somewhere safe to make them feel better. This further supports children to understand their own feelings and behaviours, while developing empathy.

- Nappies
- Waiting list
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £24.78 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.
- Is there a place for my child's age? 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.
