What it is like to attend
Children demonstrate very high levels of energy and excitement as they enter the well-resourced and vibrant environment. Staff immediately greet children, who have excellent emotional attachments to staff. Children develop superior levels of self-esteem and confidence in this outstanding setting. Staff are consistent in praising children and making them feel special. They use a wide variety of methods to promote children's good behaviour. As a result, children demonstrate exemplary friendships and behaviour.
Children are engrossed in a wealth of captivating and highly challenging activities and experiences, which staff expertly plan in great detail. Children take part in an activity to design odd socks. This activity is planned to help children learn about differences and anti-bullying. They learn about other topics in their curriculum, such as the role of the post person. Staff expertly plan an activity for children to post themselves a letter. They go to the post box to post it and then bring it back to the pre-school when it has arrived. This activity, along with many others, ignites children's curiosity.
Children excitedly explore the outdoor area. They inquisitively explore, investigate and speculate as they discover minibeasts and explore the muddy digging area.

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.
