What it is like to attend

The layout and use of the environment and resources makes a powerful contribution to children's independence, well-being and learning. Children immerse themselves in open-ended play. They explore and experiment with confidence. For example, pre-school children work together to syphon water and others describe in detail the insects they have collected. Children gain an in-depth understanding about the changing seasons, living things and their natural environment. Children aged two- and three-years-old show excellent levels of concentration and a real understanding of birds as they make fat balls and bird feeders.

Babies benefit from highly sensitive staff, who are gentle and respectful when carrying out their care routines. Behaviour is exemplary and all children are totally absorbed in their play and during activities. For example, babies delight in playing with jelly and gloop and are supported extremely well to communicate. All children, including babies, show a keen interest in books and story sessions. Children who are two-years-old are extremely enthusiastic and engage fully during the story session, despite their young age. Children build on their existing learning and are eager to try new experiences. For example, children aged one- and two-years old are enthralled when they are given the freedom to use leeks, potatoes and carrots to paint with.

Before you ring

What to ask them

None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.

  • What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
  • Can I use my funded hours here? 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.
