What it is like to attend
All children thrive at this group, achieving exceptionally well in their learning and development. They all have excellent relationships with the staff, who show genuine warmth and kindness to them. Children are settled, happy and very confident. They welcome visitors and are excited to tell them about activities. For example, they avidly describe how to affect change on foam with their hands and tools. They encourage them to join their adventure to the 'mountains', and to spot birds and insects attracted to the garden area using the readily available binoculars.
Children are highly motivated to learn. Staff are excellent role models and support children to develop confident social skills, independence and impeccable behaviour.
The children of different ages play exceptionally well together. Children gain excellent independence skills and are fully prepared to move on to school.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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