What it is like to attend
Children form excellent bonds with the staff that care for them. They are confident, happy and caring towards their peers. The secure environment helps children to become very confident to make their own choices and express their ideas and views. Children gain an exceptionally strong sense of belonging and have the confidence to independently explore. Their emotional security is promoted through the consistent approach by staff to celebrate their individual attributes. This enables children to build strong friendships and show empathy for their peers.
Older children have set tasks, such as 'water monitor'. They take responsibility very seriously and take pride in completing their daily tasks. Younger children enjoy sharing their own family books with familiar adults. The children's behaviour and social skills are excellent. This is encouraged by responsive staff offering praise at every opportunity.
Children demonstrate high levels of energy and excitement as they enter the safe, vibrant and well-resourced environment. They are engrossed in a wealth of captivating and highly challenging activities and experiences, which staff expertly plan in great detail. Staff kept in close contact with families during the COVID-19

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.
