What it is like to attend
Children enter the nursery with enthusiasm and merrily greet staff members, who welcome them with a friendly cheer. Staff ensure a thorough handover, gaining any relevant information from parents to ensure that children have a positive day.
Children talk to staff about their experiences, and adults listen and respond warmly.
Children have formed strong relationships with staff and feel happy and safe in their company.
What Ofsted told them to improve

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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