What it is like to attend
Children arrive happily to the setting. They receive a warm and caring welcome from familiar staff. Children develop close relationships with staff, who know them well. This helps children to feel safe and secure. Children are enthusiastic, calm and relaxed while they play, happily sharing resources with one another and building friendships.
Children are curious and explore the stimulating play environment, which staff specifically plan to engage all children, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those who speak English as an additional language. Children show what they have been learning as they independently match animals to a book when following the storyline. Staff motivate children to spend extended periods of time on their chosen activities, such as exploring various construction vehicles. Staff model clear language and develop children's knowledge of different construction vehicles through role play. Children are keen to play with staff and include them in their games. Staff plan ample opportunities to ensure that all children develop their gross and fine motor skills well. Older children enjoy navigating their way across an obstacle course, and younger children use tweezers and whisks in the outdoor play kitchen. All children persevere with challenge and show a confident attitude.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £56.25 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.
