What it is like to attend
Staff collaborate closely to provide a rich and targeted curriculum for children. This, coupled with high-quality teaching, ensures children make substantial and sustained progress. Each child's key person precisely identifies children's learning needs and interests right from when children first attend. Staff are all highly responsive and attentive to children's needs. They flexibly adapt their routines. For example, they provide children with extended uninterrupted periods of play, minimising any disruption for the younger children as they settle in at the beginning of term.
Children relish the freedom to choose from a wide range of stimulating activities and inspiring resources that ignite their curiosity. Staff are very skilled at responding to children's interests and ideas, extending children's engagement and learning to the highest level. For example, children's imaginative play with a small suitcase leads staff to discuss travel and tickets. They extend children's knowledge further as they model writing numbers and letters of the alphabet. Staff capitalise excellently upon spontaneous opportunities as they skilfully extend the focus on travel to an aeroplane in the sky. Staff discuss destinations, speed and flying. They excite the children's imagination further as they bring out more resources, small planes and rockets, and a toy runway to explore these concepts further. Children develop a superb enthusiasm and willingness to learn and very positive attitudes to developing their skills.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £7.50 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.
