What it is like to attend
Children are extremely happy and secure. They arrive excited for their day ahead at the nursery. Children display a real yearning and motivation towards their play and learning. They eagerly explore the wide range of resources and activities that staff have carefully planned for them. This helps to keep children highly engaged and enthralled in their play. All children, including babies, have excellent bonds with staff, who are wonderfully caring and attentive. Children are encouraged to quickly become independent to gain the skills they require for their future learning.
For example, babies learn to feed themselves and older children relish responsibilities, such as setting up the lunch tables, during which they use their impressive communication skills to discuss the nutritious items displayed on the lunch menu.
Children's behaviour is exemplary. Babies and younger children receive gentle reminders to help them to gain a more secure understanding of sharing with others. Older children are wonderfully patient and kind. Staff are outstanding role models who treat each and every child as unique. As such, children build an immense sense of pride and belonging. They receive an abundance of praise and encouragement and this helps them to become notably self-assured, resilient and proud of their own achievements. Children are celebrated within the nursery through meticulous planning and are able to see themselves reflected in resources and all learning environments. For example, they can explore with a range of hair textures and products in a hairdressing role play. This helps children to develop a keen awareness of the similarities and differences in themselves and others.

What to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? 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.
