What it is like to attend
Children flourish in this exceptional nursery. They are nurtured and valued by extremely committed staff, who have high expectations for them all. Staff provide an exceptional environment and curriculum, bespoke to each child, which inspires and interests them to learn. Children are fully absorbed in their play and learning, as they are able to follow and extend on their interests, supported by skilled staff.
For example, children help themselves to flour, water and fruit teabags to make
'cakes' from the invitingly designed messy area. All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are making excellent progress.

Still missing for The Lookout Day Nursery
- Waiting list
No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £63.50 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.
- 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.
