What it is like to attend
Children arrive happily to this warm, welcoming, homely, and very inclusive nursery. Staff create a wonderful and relaxing environment for all children.
Children, including those who have been identified as requiring extra support are thriving and enjoying new experiences. Staff understand how each child is unique and how they learn in different ways. Children benefit immensely from an extremely well-planned curriculum. They are curious, want to explore and are very motivated to learn. Children of all ages demonstrate superb concentration during their play and learning.
Older children work very well together as they confidently and safely use small tools. They use mallets to hit the logs and tell visitors they are building a house together, they comment 'it's going to be a tree house'. Toddlers safely and skilfully manoeuvre trikes around tracks. They take great care not to bump into their friends. There is a great sense of friendship and kindness in the nursery. For example, older children comfort their friends when they have tripped over saying

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.
