They greet children warmly as they arrive and take time to find out about their interests. Staff use this information to provide activities that children enjoy. Children settle securely and are motivated to learn. Staff have high expectations of children. The curriculum is broad and rich. Children make good progress and learn suitable skills in preparation for school. Children develop good mathematical skills. Staff teach children shapes; for instance, they ask children which shape a cracker is at snack time. They sing number songs and rhymes to familiarise children with numbers. Children roll giant sponge dice, count the dots and do a corresponding number of jumps.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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