What it is like to attend
Children thrive and flourish in their development in this welcoming nursery. All children receive excellent support. They develop very strong, secure and positive relationships and friendships with their peers. Babies excitedly sing rhymes with their friends. Staff naturally burst into singing songs, enthusing the babies.
Toddlers climb and balance on large tyres outside. They are carefully directed by staff using sign language, to inspire children's confidence. Pre-school children concentrate hard and work exceptionally well together, such as when making space rockets and building a ship. They are guided by staff to think deeply about what they add, such as long cylinders for cannons. Children show excellent memory skills. They remember about the Queen's Jubilee. Children gain the key skills which they need for their next stages of learning.
Children behave exceptionally well and respond very well to the high expectations which staff have for them. Children are very happy and settled. Babies display secure emotional attachments to staff, who gently comfort them on arrival and on waking from their sleep. Toddlers follow instructions and know daily routines.

No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £67.00 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.
