What it is like to attend
Children and babies are fully engaged and highly motivated to learn throughout their time in this inspiring nursery. They make excellent progress in all aspects of their learning and are very well prepared for the next stage in their education, including starting school. The experienced and well-qualified staff team helps children to build strongly and consistently on their vocabulary and language skills through the sharply focused and well-planned curriculum. For example, two-yearold children confidently explain that the water is 'overflowing' in their water play because 'it is too full'. Older children learn to understand words such as 'volume'
and 'capacity' as they fill their containers.
Children are very well behaved, and they feel safe and secure. The staff help children to increasingly recognise their own emotions and respect the needs of others. For example, children develop a deep understanding of the nursery's

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £49.00 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.
