What it is like to attend

The nursery provides children with excellent foundations for their future learning.

Children thrive and are happy at this stimulating nursery. There is a family feel throughout. Children's independence is extremely well promoted. They wash fruit for snack and carefully cut it by themselves. They freely access drinks from jugs stored in the fridge and carefully pour into their cups. Children frequently talk about keeping hydrated on this hot summer's day, and are learning how to keep themselves healthy.

Children's behaviour is exceptional. They learn how to show respect and to value each other, as staff consistently model good manners. Children appreciate and take care of their environment. They confidently talk about the recycling bins and what items go in which bin. Children enthusiastically tidy up at the end of the session.

Before you ring

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £54.00 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.
  • 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.
