What it is like to attend
Children thrive in this remarkable nursery. They demonstrate extremely high levels of engagement and concentration in their learning. Staff carefully consider how to best engage children in their learning while thinking about how to teach them new skills and knowledge. Learning is incredibly tailored to children's individual needs.
For example, staff give children who are transitioning to the next room time to explore the new environment at a quiet time so that they can develop their confidence and explore with ease.
Children build skills and knowledge over time. Staff introduce new concepts and then provide opportunities for children to practise and test out their knowledge. For example, children make predictions and experiment with the boats they have made to see if they float or sink. Staff ask children why they think their boats are sinking or floating. They talk about shape, size and weight. This prompts children to think about the differences between the boats and develops their critical-thinking skills.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £50.00 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.
- 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.
