What it is like to attend
Children thrive at this extremely nurturing pre-school. Every child is warmly greeted by all staff members on arrival. Children take off their own coats and hang these up before eagerly finding their friends and starting to play. They enthusiastically choose from a wide variety of stimulating play activities. They are always keen to invite adults to join in their play.
Children who are new to the provision are supported extremely effectively as they settle in. Care is taken to introduce them to their peers, and to help them to feel included in the daily routines. Children establish extremely strong attachments with their key person. This helps children to feel emotionally secure.
Children's behaviour is exemplary, and their manners are impeccable. They display a mature respect for their peers and adults. They support their friends to join in activities and help staff at snack time. Children display excellent levels of concentration as they become engrossed in their learning. They are keen to try out new skills. For example, they blend pastels when exploring different mark-making equipment.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £38.00 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.
