What it is like to attend
Children thrive in this exceptional nursery, which puts children and families at the centre of all it does. Highly enthusiastic staff welcome children into the nursery in a happy, friendly manner. Children enter excited for their day. They independently find their name or picture cards and place it on a coat peg. They hang up their belongings and eagerly enter the playrooms, ready to play and learn.
Children are extremely happy and well settled within the nursery. Kind and nurturing staff support babies. They are attentive to all their needs. Babies enjoy cuddles with staff when then need comfort. Older children seek staff to join their games. During sensory exploration, children seek out staff and say, 'come and play'. Enthusiastic staff respond swiftly to children's requests. They play with the children and follow their lead. Children beam with delight as staff engage, copy and model play.
Children learn the importance of a healthy lifestyle and the impact this has on their bodies. Babies and toddlers have a choice of healthy snacks. Staff talk to them about what they are eating in an age-appropriate manner. During lunchtime, older children discuss what food they have on their plates. They say the carrots give them 'muscles'. Highly knowledgeable staff explain how the food they eat gives children energy to play. When the children play in the garden after lunch, they discuss how their lunch has made them run fast. Staff teach children about the effects of a healthy lifestyle, and children begin to learn the impact of this from an early age.

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.
