What it is like to attend
Children thrive at this welcoming, inclusive pre-school. They quickly settle and begin to enjoy the exciting environment. Children display high levels of concentration and engagement. They delight in storytelling, listening to stories daily and taking books home. They use their experiences to tell their own stories by drawing pictures and talking about what they have drawn. Children particularly enjoy the wonderful forest school area, where they explore and investigate, experiencing seasonal changes and playing outdoors in all weathers. They are skilfully supported by the knowledgeable staff team, who are always nearby to offer help and to add new learning.
Individuality is celebrated. Children are encouraged to share lots of information about themselves and their families and they are eager to do so. For example, they chat about their cousins arriving from abroad, performances that they are practising for and new babies in their family. Children show pride as they confidently communicate, and their friends listen to them with genuine interest.
Children make lots of friends here.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £19.50 a session 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.
- 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.
