What it is like to attend
Children arrive excited to learn in this very inviting nursery. Children are warmly greeted by staff, who are highly responsive to their needs. This helps children to build secure attachments. Children feel safe and ready to engage in their learning.
The indoor activities are exceptionally well thought out to encourage children to be curious and eager to learn more. For example, in a large planting area, children plant seeds and explore the various herbs and plants through touch and smell.
They compare the healthy growth of humans to the healthy growth of plants through food and light. Children demonstrate confidence by contributing their ideas with staff and ask questions to broaden their understanding. For example, when children measure porridge on weighing scales, they ask how to make it 'heavier'.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- What does it cost, all in? 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.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
