What it is like to attend
Children enter this pre-school happily, and staff greet them warmly as they arrive.
They communicate with adults confidently and form secure attachments with the attentive staff. Children are aware of pre-school routines and what is expected of them. They learn about being healthy. For example, at snack time, they enjoy chatting with their friends, drinking water and trying different foods. Children play outdoors in the fresh air, and they enjoy being physically active. For example, they navigate their way along wooden tracks and learn to balance and stretch as they move carefully across stepping stones.
Children make good progress and are confident, curious learners. Staff plan learning experiences that build on children's interests, such as building cars with nuts and bolts and painting colourful rainbows. Staff plan a range of learning opportunities to broaden children's skills and knowledge. For example, children are motivated and engaged as they use stones and sticks in the mud kitchen to create

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.
