What it is like to attend
Children flourish and find joy in this exceptional environment. The staff prioritise children's well-being, demonstrating deep respect for their emotional needs. This aids their quick adjustment to attending the setting. The organisation of the provision offers children unique learning opportunities, allowing them to explore their surroundings with curiosity while staff attentively follow their interests.
Through high levels of interaction, all staff consistently build on each child's existing knowledge and capabilities. Staff foster children's special talents and interests by including them in their environment and allowing children the time and space to explore.
Children exhibit outstanding behaviour within the setting, and staff encourage them to share and take turns. Staff learn children's home languages and use this often in the setting. They also provide opportunities for children to learn about cultures and religions. For example, children learn about mosques and churches that they might visit with their families to understand the importance of different beliefs and values.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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