What it is like to attend
Children flourish at this outstanding nursery. Staff's focus is on children's well-being and all decisions are made with children's best interests in mind. Children arrive happy and separate from their parents with ease. They are excited to see their friends and eager to begin their play. Children have excellent relationships with the very kind and caring staff. They demonstrate an exceptionally strong sense of belonging and are quick to invite others to join their play. Children's behaviour is impeccable. Staff are superb role models for children. They treat them with the utmost respect, and this is reflected in how children treat each other.
Children have fun and are eager to explore all areas of the exceptionally clean, well-organised and well-resourced environment. They display high levels of independence and confidence. Children manage their personal care and display an excellent understanding of the importance of good health and hygiene. Children diligently wash and dry their hands at regular intervals throughout the day. They have very good table manners. Children sit with their friends to eat healthy and nutritious packed lunches. They learn the importance of good oral health. Children know why they need to brush their teeth twice daily. Children tell staff that they do not want cavities in their teeth.
Children lead their own learning. They develop strong imaginative skills. Children excitedly pretend to be pirates. They work together to look for buried treasure in the sandpit. Staff are quick to enhance their play experience and provide them with treasure maps. Children are fascinated by the map and refer to this as they continue to search for their treasure. Children listen attentively to stories read by the enthusiastic staff. Staff use animated voices and props to fully support children's engagement. Children know all of the words to the songs and rhymes they sing. They dance and wriggle their bodies as they sing loudly and proudly.

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
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.
- 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.
