What it is like to attend
Children are highly enthusiastic learners, who very much enjoy coming to nursery.
They are extremely happy and demonstrate high levels of emotional security, confidence and self-esteem. Children's interests and love for learning are at the heart of every decision that staff make. Children thoroughly enjoy exploring the ambitious curriculum in the carefully planned environment. This particularly supports those children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
All children make excellent progress from their starting points. They make independent choices from highly motivating activities that capture their curiosity for learning. For example, children enjoy accessing the play dough station and make their own dough from raw ingredients. They are completely involved in their play and learning, and are constantly smiling and laughing together. For example, children eagerly join in as they look at and care for the nursery's pet snail. They smile and giggle with excitement and they relish the praise that they receive from staff. Children confidently talk about their learning using rich vocabulary. Children behave exceptionally well. They develop secure relationships with staff. Staff support children in developing independence through well-established daily routines. For example, children are encouraged to wipe their own nose, check in the mirror to see if they are clean, and then wash their hands.

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.
