What it is like to attend
The passionate staff team has created a wonderfully warm and supportive environment in which children and their personal development are at the heart of everything they do. Parents and carers comment on the remarkable levels of detail which go into planning and delivering memorable experiences for their children.
Children's feelings and thoughts are sensitively considered when preparing activities, and they take great enjoyment in arriving at nursery. Staff expertly support children who speak English as an additional language and those with speech and language delays through a range of daily music and sensory sessions.
These are planned and delivered to strengthen all children's communication and attention skills. Children take a huge amount of pleasure from naming and exploring weird and wonderful items pulled from a box and use tactile materials such as flour to make marks of their own.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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