What it is like to attend
Children are very happy, settled, and secure at this very welcoming setting. Their independence skills develop rapidly as they practise doing things for themselves and others. For instance, children help to set up tables and chairs at mealtimes and tidy away afterwards. Staff support children to chop and peel their fruit independently and pour their own drinks. Children plan what they want to play with next and staff show that they value their ideas. For example, a child stuck a pencil through a cardboard box while mark making. Children discussed how it looked like a birthday candle before more pencils were excitedly added. A discussion then developed about a child's recent birthday which led to a hearty birthday song around what had now become a giant cardboard cake. This helps children to develop a strong sense of ownership over their learning and fun while playing.
Children's personal, social, and emotional development is outstanding because of the support provided. Staff are consistent in their praise, so that children can recognise their learning and achievements. Children play well together and learn to share and take turns. Their behaviour is exemplary.
Staff have incredibly caring, sensitive and respectful relationships with children.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £17.50 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.
