What it is like to attend
Leaders are self-driven. They are determined for all children to succeed and seek out expertise from others to improve their practice. There is a strong ethos of working collaboratively. The curriculum is highly ambitious. Programmes are designed to support children to develop in all areas. Children have access to a wellresourced and well-organised environment, indoors and outdoors. Staff take into account children's views. For example, the 'news from home' activity is implemented to encourage children to talk about what they do at home. Staff use this knowledge to plan interesting and motivating activities. Staff have an excellent understanding of children's cultural capital. Children learn about families from a range of backgrounds, and there are exceptional links with the local community.
Staff plan trips to teach children about how to care for citizens.
When children arrive at the pre-school, they quickly separate from their grown up.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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