What it is like to attend
The extremely warm relationships that staff develop with children create a warm and secure atmosphere where all children excel. The learning environment is wonderful and highly engaging for children. For example, outdoors, the children develop important physical skills as they excitedly perform egg and spoon and hurdle races as part of their topic of work, the Olympics. Children develop their body strength and coordination skills as they run between cones and manoeuvre their way along balance beams. Such activities allow children to learn from trial and error, take risks as they play and make gains in their social, personal and physical skills. Staff expertly share stories and skilfully adapt and sing songs and counting rhymes regularly throughout the day. For example, children confidently sing along to 'The Wheels on the Bus' and adaptions of 'Five Currant Buns'. This effectively supports their language and mathematical development.
Children excitedly learn about the world around them. For example, they learn how the foods they eat are grown. Children thoroughly enjoy growing and caring for different vegetables and herbs, smelling, feeling and tasting them as they grow.
They especially enjoy using the outdoor campsite to prepare and mix these ingredients together to make magical potions and cakes. Children behave extremely well within a supportive and nurturing environment. They learn to understand and follow the nursery's 'golden rules' and routines. Children greatly care for one another, and they take turns and share when choosing their activities.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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