What it is like to attend
Children thrive in the nursery. Staff provide children with the utmost care, and interactions are highly sensitive and nurturing. Children demonstrate that they feel safe and secure. Staff warmly welcome every child, and place the relationship they have with the children at the heart of everything they do. Children form very strong bonds with all members of staff.
Staff are excellent role models. Children's behaviour is exceptional. They follow the rules of the setting, and share, tidy up and use their manners. Staff support all children to develop their independence. Children learn to dress themselves and take responsibility for their self-care and hygiene from an early age. For example, children learn to use different fasteners, such as zips, buttons and poppers. This is reinforced by staff with praise, which supports children to develop their self-worth.
Each child has a highly qualified key person, who knows them exceptionally well.

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.
