What it is like to attend

Staff teach children about diversity in inspirational ways. Children's and other's cultural, physical, and social differences within and outside the nursery are part of daily learning. Children are deeply curious about other people. They ask questions about other people's jobs, languages, and religions. All children feel valued and celebrate their uniqueness. They show high levels of respect and tolerance for others.

Staff have extremely high expectations of children of all ages at the nursery. They meticulously develop the environment to create opportunities for all children to excel. Babies practice increasingly complex physical skills in the baby room. Staff encourage them to navigate paving stones and puddles in the garden. Babies learn to crawl and walk rapidly. They are extremely confident as they take risks and build resilience. Children are highly motivated learners, who are keen to achieve their best. Outcomes for all children are excellent.

Staff share a strong vision to encourage children to persevere and keep on trying.

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.
