What it is like to attend
Children are extremely happy and demonstrate high levels of self-esteem in this fully inclusive pre-school. The kind and attentive staff warmly welcome children on arrival, helping each child feel valued from the outset. Children form exceptionally strong and trusting relationships with staff, showing they feel safe and secure in their care. Younger children confidently seek comfort and cuddles when needed, while older children eagerly involve staff in their play and proudly share their accomplishments.
Children demonstrate high levels of respect and kindness towards others, and their behaviour is exemplary. Staff act as positive role models and consistently model the behaviours they expect, such as using polite language like 'please' and 'thank you'
when interacting with children. They provide gentle guidance and clear, consistent reminders, helping children understand routines and expectations. Staff also offer frequent praise and reassurance, which supports the development of children's selfesteem and confidence.

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.
