What it is like to attend
Children form strong, positive bonds with staff. Leaders and staff support children's emotional well-being incredibly well. Staff promptly respond and cater to children's individual needs. For example, staff comfort and use signs or visual cues to help support babies. Staff also sensitively use home comforts to soothe younger children. Children settle exceptionally well in a short period of time when attending the setting. Children demonstrate that they are happy and secure, ready to learn.
Children thrive at this outstanding setting, where staff are passionate about their role as early years educators. Staff have established highly effective systems to support all children's needs. They swiftly identify gaps in children's learning and adapt teaching effectively. Children make excellent progress from their starting points, including those children with special educational needs and/or disabilities
(SEND). Staff plan exciting learning opportunities reflecting children's interests and next steps in learning. For example, staff adapt their teaching when children are painting. Children show an interest painting using their hands. Staff demonstrate different marks such as finger and hand printing which children copy. Staff encourage children to paint both hands a different colour and mix to see what colour it makes. Children learn about mixing colours and share their knowledge with friends. Children sustain attention exceptionally well and build on what they know and can do. They demonstrate exceptionally positive attitudes to their learning.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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