What it is like to attend
Staff greet children warmly and are genuinely excited to hear their stories from home. Children arrive eager to see what is happening in nursery today. They know where to put their things and settle quickly to their learning. The environment provides a fascinating array of learning experiences indoors and outdoors. Staff play alongside children, keeping them safe and secure as they explore. Children are confident to use resources creatively. For example, they make a telescope from a cardboard tube to watch their friends arrive. Children show real care and concern for each other. They persevere when things get tricky and encourage their friends to do the same. Staff foster a culture of care and respect. Children behave beautifully in response to the high expectations of staff. They take care of each other and their environment.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £23.50 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.
