What it is like to attend
Children are cared for in a safe and stimulating environment. Staff greet them warmly when they arrive. Children and staff develop close, caring relationships.
Staff readily give cuddles and reassurance to children, where needed. The knowledgeable staff know the children well and plan a wide range of experiences that stimulate children's interests. Children throughout the nursery become deeply engaged in their play. For example, 2-year-olds are interested in themselves. Staff follow this interest and encourage children to draw what they can see when they look at themselves in the mirror. As children get older, they sustain high levels of concentration. Pre-school children are highly animated as they look for resources that will sink and float in water in the garden. They respond effectively to staff's open-ended questions, to predict and test their ideas.
Children behave extremely well and respond to prompts from staff quickly. Children learn to share and to take account of others. Staff give targeted support and reassurance where needed. They give children notice before they need to finish their activity. Staff use a one-minute sand timer. This leads to calm transition periods. Children are keen to help to tidy resources away.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £81.50 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.
- 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.
