What it is like to attend
Children thrive at this outstanding setting. Staff provide a welcoming and truly inclusive environment, where each child's uniqueness is highly valued. Children flourish because of the excellent education and nurturing that they receive. They arrive with broad smiles, eager for an exciting day of learning. Staff plan a highly ambitious early years curriculum which incorporates high-quality activities that meet children's individual needs. They provide excellent support for all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and the most-disadvantaged children.
Children have a keen enthusiasm to learn. They are supported and taught the skills they need to learn to make them independent and able to problem solve. They are confident and able to make choices and decisions about their learning. They recall knowledge that they have learned. For example, they confidently name the ingredients needed to make dough. They go on to discuss the volcanos they previously created using some of these same ingredients.
Children's behaviour is exemplary. The extremely well thought out routines are deeply embedded. Children know exactly what is happening and what is expected of them. For example, children confidently collect their mats for group time and eagerly help each other tidy up before moving on to the next activity. This helps children feel secure and empowered. Staff are excellent role models for children.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- What does it cost, all in? 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.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
