What it is like to attend
Children have numerous opportunities to follow their own ideas and create their own play and learning. They enjoy their time at this vibrant nursery immensely and show this through their positive engagement and concentration in their play. Staff have high expectations for children's learning.
Older children scream with delight as they sit on skateboards and roll down the small slope. They shout, 'This is so exciting, this is so fun'. Older children laugh out loud when they 'crash' into the tyre or come to a controlled stop. They show their core strength, stability, and balance skills. Older children get on to their side and roll down the hill in the forest school. They explain that they are in search of fairies. Older children use their hands and feet to climb a ladder that rests on an upturned boat in the outdoor area. Children are extremely self-assured and friendly. They ask visitors their name and then introduce themselves and their friends. Children are extremely happy, safe and show high levels of respect for others. Their behaviour is exceptional.
Staff are highly aware of the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on parents and children. They know that some babies have never experienced time with other children. Staff acknowledge parents' anxiety at leaving their children for the first time, due to the pandemic. They provide parents with their own care bag to help them feel at ease at home, while their child settles into the nursery. Staff provide emotional support to the whole family exceptionally well.

Still missing for My Little Barn Owls Ltd
- Waiting list
No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- Is £63.15 a day still the rate? 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.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
