What it is like to attend
Children benefit greatly from the exceptional level of care that staff provide for them and their families. They thrive in the warm and nurturing setting. They are happy and safe. There are exceptionally positive relationships between staff and children.
Children demonstrate high levels of independence. They make their own choices about the activities they would like to engage in and the resources they would like to use. They become absorbed in their learning, whether this be by themselves, with other children, or with a guiding adult supporting them. Children demonstrate confidence to problem solve. For example, when using a hole punch, children carefully use the tool, remembering and repeating what they have been shown.
Children take pride in what they do and celebrate their achievements.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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