What it is like to attend
Children's sheer excitement for the day ahead is evident as they enter the nursery.
They eagerly run up to staff and are met with cuddles from the kind and welcoming adults. Parents feel that the nursery staff go above and beyond to support their families and the local community. Where possible, staff translate and speak with parents in their home languages. This helps families to integrate into the nursery.
Children have a wealth of activities on offer that engage them in play. Children's interests are supported in the curriculum. For example, following a recent fire alarm, the children are beginning to understand fire safety. Staff extended this interest further by arranging for the children to visit the local fire station.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- What does it cost, all in? 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.
