What it is like to attend
Children are warmly welcomed by nurturing staff who know them extremely well.
This helps children to settle quickly and feel safe, valued and secure. Staff are highly skilled in supporting children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), including those with complex needs. The setting is inclusive.

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.
