What it is like to attend
Children thoroughly enjoy themselves exploring their inspiring learning environment. Staff consider carefully what children need to learn next and create engaging activities to help children make excellent progress with a wide range of skills. For example, staff identified that some children need to build their upper body strength, so new play equipment with ropes to pull has been created.
Children love to climb and learn how to navigate small risks around their spacious outdoor area. They paint walls with water and rollers and explore many real tools to construct and create as they play.
Children show exceptional levels of respect for one another and the staff. They play collaboratively, helping each other to push trailers of items around the garden. Staff encourage children to think through how they want to transport items and build things. This helps children develop excellent problem-solving skills and independence. Children have outstanding opportunities to explore the natural world. For instance, they built their own pond and watched tadpoles. Children laugh with their friends and get plenty of exercise as they search their garden on a bug hunt. They mark off the bugs they find on a card and learn lots of names of different wildlife and plants.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £45.00 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.
