What it is like to attend
Children flourish and thrive at this warm and homely nursery. They arrive happily and are excited to see their friends. Children settle quickly and enjoy a healthy and nutritious breakfast. Babies enjoy sensitive, warm and nurturing attention from trusted adults, who know them very well. Their personal care routines are closely mirrored to those at home because of the strong partnerships built with parents.
Older children visit the local forest and become deeply engaged in the natural environment. They use sticks to paint on large paper canvasses hanging from trees. Children remember in detail the rules of the forest. For example, they remember not to go near the yew tree because 'it might hurt your skin'. Children form close bonds with their peers, sitting together on logs to share stories. They enjoy kind and caring friendships.
Children consistently engage in exciting and enjoyable activities. They have great fun making a range of delicacies in the outdoor mud kitchen. Younger children show excitement and wonder as they roll balls through long tubes. Children use their imaginations to export themselves to magical places, such as the far-away pirate lands. They create detailed treasure maps, explaining that they have

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.
