What it is like to attend
Children benefit from kind and nurturing interactions from staff. Staff create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for children to learn and play in. As a result, children show that they are happy and they feel safe and secure. Staff have high expectations for children's learning and behaviour and are extremely attentive to their needs. This helps children to show good engagement and behave very well.
Children delight in exploring a broad range of resources that support their development. This is evident when they run around and ride on a range of wheeled toys in the spacious and well-equipped garden. Children show great imagination and curiosity when digging for treasure and exploring insects outdoors.
Furthermore, they show high levels of interest as they listen to stories, such as

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.
