What it is like to attend
Children thrive at this highly inclusive and inviting setting. They form wonderful relationships with one another and show that they feel safe and secure in the care of the nurturing staff. Children show deep engagement in their play and create their own imaginary games. For instance, they wrap each other up in blankets, offering soft toys and comforters, and pretend to go to sleep. Children take on roles of parents and care for their 'children'. Children ask each other if they are okay and if they would like anything to eat. They demonstrate superb social skills.
Children's behaviour is remarkable. They take pride in their work and their achievements. Children quickly learn the routine of the setting and understand the rules. One example of this is learning to return resources and equipment to where it belongs. They brush floors with dustpans and brushes and wash down tables with wet cloths. Children use their real-life experiences through games. They use toothpaste and brushes to clean giant-sized teeth. Children benefit from visits from the local dentist and follow excellent hygiene practices. They share stories with visitors about older siblings, who remind them to brush their teeth every day.
Children develop excellent literacy skills. They recognise letters and make marks in flour. Children are exceptionally well prepared for their next stage in learning and their eventual move to school.

What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? 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.
