What it is like to attend
Children are cared for by key staff who have an extensive knowledge and understanding of them and their families. They benefit hugely from the great emphasis placed on supporting them, particularly in times of difficulty. Children arrive at the nursery keen to join their friends and to learn. They settle quickly and demonstrate they feel safe and emotionally secure.
Children have access to a rich, well-equipped learning environment where they can explore and investigate independently. The expectations for what children know and can achieve are exceptionally high. Every effort is made to ensure children reach their full potential, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). All children make rapid progress throughout their time in the nursery.
Language development is at the core of the carefully planned curriculum. Children develop communication skills through highly effective strategies. For example, they routinely use sign language. Key words in their home languages are used during stories and songs. Staff use pictures to help children communicate their wants and needs and to understand daily routines.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £50.00 a day 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.
