What it is like to attend
Leaders within this setting are highly inspirational and passionate. They lead an extremely well-qualified staff team, who implement an ambitious, challenging curriculum that ensures the best learning opportunities for children. Children are exceptionally happy and safe. They engage deeply in their learning. Experiences provided are tailored to meet children's current interests and needs and capture their imaginations. Children are extremely confident within the setting and share their ideas with others. Staff ensure that children's views are considered. Older children vote on which book they would like to read before lunch and which new song props they would like their 'Song-Cat' to find. Staff have extremely high expectations of children. Children show high levels of independence in all aspects of their self-care. They fully embrace the opportunities available to them and show very high levels of confidence. Older children flow between the upstairs and downstairs rooms with maturity.
The behaviour of children is impeccable. They are extremely kind to each other.
They share resources without prompting and show concern when others may be upset. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are extremely well supported within the setting. Leaders and managers work closely to support parents as well as children. Staff liaise with relevant outside agencies to ensure children receive the support they need to ensure they make the best progress.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £47.00 a session 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.
- 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.
