What it is like to attend

Children thrive and flourish in their development at this nursery that has outdoor learning at its heart. All children, including those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make rapid progress. Children are excited to take part in a wealth of interesting activities and they are highly motivated and eager to join in and learn.

Children behave exceptionally well and respond very well to the high expectations staff have for them. Staff use children's interests to plan exceptionally well.

Children are interested in volcanoes. They talk with staff and look at pictures and models. They go out into the fields and carry out experiments to make a volcano.

Before you ring

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.
  • 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.
