What it is like to attend
All children, including those very young and new to the setting, settle extremely well. This is due to the exceptional attentive care and education that staff plan and provide. Toddlers explain with delight that they are 'happy' while at nursery and what makes them so. Every moment of the day staff engage children in unlimited, planned and purposeful play and learning. Staff consistently adapt and improve the learning environment, to provide awe-inspiring opportunities across a curriculum that is highly inspiring. Babies take enormous delight in exploring nature and being outdoors in the woodland area. They use their senses as they touch different textures of the leaves and peer through magnifying glasses, identifying things in the environment. Staff teach babies with exceptional care and skills, demonstrating and modelling language successfully. For example, they copy how to use sticks to tap on objects and listen to the different sounds they make.
Children are extremely polite, kind and highly curious in their investigations. Staff are fully committed to stimulating children's explorations, and join in with their awe and wonder. This makes children feel truly valued, respected and cared for.
Toddlers embrace singing time with great gusto. They join in with actions, and shake their instruments along to the beat of the music. Staff show great enthusiasm, helping children maintain their focus. Children's levels of concentration and determination are excellent. Pre-school children show immense skills that they have learned. For example, they hold test tubes, and with big watering cans they successfully pour water into the tube.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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