What it is like to attend
Children enter the nursery happy and eager to join their peers. They show strong, warm bonds with staff as they run to them for cuddles and greetings. They are excited to share elements of their day with their peers and staff alike. Staff are very attentive to children. They provide rich, exciting activities and resources to capture the attention and imagination of every child. Children are consumed with their play and this reflects in their behaviour. They are kind, polite and considerate.
Children know what is expected of them. They follow nursery routines naturally, showing that their behaviour and learning are embedded. Mealtimes are a social occasion. Staff also cleverly use lunchtime as a way to prepare children for the move to primary school. Pre-school children practise carrying lunch trays and collecting food from a hatch, as this reflects practises in local schools. This also helps to strengthen children's independence and confidence.
Babies, toddlers and 'tweenies' show impressive resilience. They quickly settle into the nursery, despite having spent long periods of their lives in lockdown due to the

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.
