What it is like to attend
Children thrive at this exceptional, highly stimulating nursery where they are excited and motivated to learn. They enthusiastically respond to the sincere 'good mornings' they receive from all staff. Older children eagerly leave their parents at the entrance and babies immediately reach out when they see staff. They are so excited and keen for their learning to begin. Staff pay close attention to details, such as making sure children's favourite resources are readily available when they arrive. This helps children to feel safe and respected from the moment they enter the nursery.
Staff are highly committed to ensuring every child achieves to the best of their abilities. They are very skilled at using children's spontaneous interests to support their developing communication and physical skills. For example, children proudly show how they can make their wellington boots flash. Staff immediately build on this interest and suggest movements for children to follow. Children enthusiastically bounce, hop, jump and move backwards and forwards. They giggle with absolute joy and their faces are a pleasure to see.
Children thoroughly appreciate playing together and are active, busy learners. They relish the freedom they have to explore the outdoor environment. Children show exceptional levels of problem-solving, perseverance and a 'can-do' attitude to achieve their goals from a young age. For instance, when children decide to clean the surface they have been using for painting, they discuss together what they need, who will hold the hosepipe and who will direct the nozzle. Their faces show deep concentration as they work together to achieve their goal.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £59.50 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.
- 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.
