What it is like to attend
Staff know the children incredibly well and plan a variety of well-thought-out and enriching activities based on children's interests. For instance, children find butterflies in the garden and watch in awe as they feed and protect them. The following day, staff provide additional activities for children to further their understanding of butterflies and their life cycle, building on children's learning. As a result, children confidently talk about their past experiences and demonstrate their learning has been embedded.
Children have a fantastic attitude towards learning and confidently engage in a range of activities that excite them. They are really well behaved, and staff support them to try to manage conflict themselves and provide a variety of tools to help.
For instance, children confidently use sand timers to support sharing and turntaking and are very kind and considerate to each other.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £130.00 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.
- 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.
