What it is like to attend
Children are extremely happy and excited when they come into this excellent nursery. They eagerly ask the staff what they will be learning today. Parents feel very comfortable and are highly welcomed. For instance, children develop very high levels of self-esteem and are so eager to share information with the staff and talk fondly of their new pets, close family, and friends. They have exceptionally warm, secure relationships with other children and staff, which helps give them a deep sense of belonging. Children's imaginations are marvellous. Through staff's highquality interactions, new vocabulary and concepts are explored. During an autumn walk, they run and sit on the fallen logs, confidently explaining that they're on a
'see-saw'. Older children know the difference between 2d shapes and 3d shapes.
They confidently recognise pyramids, cubes and cylinders in their play.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £84.00 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.
