What it is like to attend
Children and families receive a warm welcome from friendly and nurturing staff.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, staff currently meet them at the nursery entrance.
Nonetheless, children quickly settle to play. This is because they form strong bonds with reassuring staff who help them to feel safe and secure. Children readily explore the learning experiences that staff tailor to their needs and interests. For example, babies delight in make animal noises while singing.

To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:

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.
