What childcare usually costs in East Riding of Yorkshire

What it is like to attend
Children have opportunities to engage in community activities and learn about where they live. The nursery has excellent relationships with neighbouring care homes, which enable children to interact with older generations. They enjoy community walks and learn about the roles of those who help us. This contributes to their feeling of belonging and understanding of the wider world.
Children are extremely happy in the setting. A strong key-worker system ensures that children's individual needs are met. An individualised settling-in system ensures children's needs are responded to and reassurance is given where needed by the kind, nurturing staff.
Staff have a clear understanding of the curriculum they provide. They know the foundations and skills all children need to build on to progress in their development. They ensure children are sufficiently skilled to help them build their confidence ready for the next steps in their learning. Staff closely follow children's responses to their activities and introduce further learning through related activities. For example, they go on a pumpkin hunt, following a pumpkin storybook.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - help children to develop their independence skills further, such as by managing tasks for themselves n promote children's understanding of healthy eating to improve their knowledge and develop healthy habits.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- What does it cost, all in? 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.
