What it is like to attend
The well-qualified and experienced manager and staff have the highest of expectations for all children. They create a vibrant and inspiring environment, indoors and outdoors. The manager and staff have designed an excellent curriculum, which is based on children's individual needs, experiences and prior learning. This ignites children's curiosity and thirst for learning. Staff know what to teach in all areas of the curriculum and in what order. They make sure that children have learned securely, before moving them on to the next stage. Children arrive at the nursery excited and ready to learn, play and grow. They all receive a warm welcome when they arrive.
Children are offered an inspiring range of activities that quickly capture their interests and help them develop a positive attitude to their learning. Children are extremely confident, keen and display a can-do attitude. They flourish due to the excellent standard of education and nurturing that they receive. All children are exceptionally happy and well settled. Children's behaviour is exemplary. Staff encourage children to talk about their feelings. This helps them to understand the impact that their behaviour can have on others. For example, children manage their own behaviour impressively as they follow established rules for outdoor play.
This helps to promote their health and safety.

No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
