What it is like to attend
Children make exceptional progress in this nursery. They are fully immersed in the wealth of exciting play and learning that captures their imagination and zest to learn. Children across all ages are very happy and settled in this exhilarating environment, where there are high expectations for all children to achieve their very best outcomes. Children are encouraged to take manageable risks, to 'have a go' and explore and practise the skills and knowledge that they hold.
Children's behaviour is exemplary. From a young age, they learn about the impact of their behaviour on others. They gain an understanding of what is right and wrong and help each other as they start to make decisions for themselves. They use 'kind hands' and kind words when they play. Staff are excellent role models and lead by example. Children make close friendships and support each other during tasks. Nurturing relationships with staff provide children with secure emotional bonds that make them feel safe and valued.
Staff place a high value on teaching children about the wider world and different communities to their own. This helps children to respect and listen to the views of others. Children initially look at information in books about Ramadan. They use their creative and physical skills to create pictures and then to explore their imagination, as they play in a Mosque built out of cardboard. This helps children to further understand what they see in the local community and its value to all people.

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.
