What it is like to attend
Children become deeply engrossed in their play at this wonderfully calm and inviting nursery. They busy themselves with the purposeful learning experiences that staff plan for them. Staff know the children extremely well. They consider children's next steps in development and interests to motivate their learning. As a result, children naturally choose to take part in these fun experiences. Staff enthusiastically play alongside children, supporting and extending their learning.
This ensures that all children thrive and continue to make positive achievements in their learning.
Children develop close bonds with all staff and are happy and settled in their care.

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.
