What it is like to attend
Practitioners are extremely passionate, caring and very enthusiastic. They get to know all children very well. As a result, children form strong attachments with practitioners. Children settle immediately. They play and learn in a safe and exciting learning environment. Practitioners are affectionate to children, which is reciprocated. They provide support to children that are quiet and offer them reassurance. All children engage fully. Practitioners provide an ambitious curriculum which is based on children's individual needs. For example, they turn a number game into a memory game by turning cards over to follow children's interests in being detectives. Children are extremely happy and content.
Practitioners have high expectations for children's learning and development. They complete thorough assessments and observations of what children can do. They use this information securely to plan children's next steps in learning and challenge them. Practitioners deliver targeted interventions, such as strategies to support children's early communication, speech and language. The curriculum is embedded securely and consistently across the setting. Children make excellent progress, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
Children's behaviour is exemplary. Practitioners are skilled in gaining children's attention and maintaining it. For example, practitioners role play baking a cake, using large expressive hand gestures and facial expressions. They adapt the tone and volume of their voice, showing excitement and passion. This encourages children to be curious, motivated and enthusiastic. Children are eager to join in and are kind to their friends. They share resources and help each other to use scissors safely. Practitioners are kind and responsive to all children's needs. They pay careful attention to those children who are new and settling in. As a result, all children are confident and learn to behave well.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £9.00 an hour 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.
